A sturdy slab serif with crisp, mostly unbracketed terminals and a clean, even rhythm. The capitals read compact and formal, with broad, flat serifs and rounded bowls that keep counters open. Lowercase forms are workmanlike and legible, with a two-storey “g,” a straight-backed “a,” and clear, simple joins; overall contrast is moderate, with verticals feeling slightly stronger than horizontals. Numerals are classic and balanced, with straightforward shapes and stable baselines that suit continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, books, and reports where steady readability and a traditional voice are needed. It can also anchor headlines, pull quotes, and section titles, pairing naturally with simpler sans serifs for contemporary layouts.
The tone is traditional and dependable, evoking book typography, newspapers, and institutional printing. It feels practical rather than decorative, with a calm authority that supports long-form reading and informational hierarchy.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic slab-serif feel optimized for readable paragraphs and clear hierarchy, combining sturdy serifs with restrained, familiar letterforms for dependable everyday typography.
The design keeps details restrained—square-ended serifs and measured curves give a crisp texture at text sizes, while the capitals have enough presence for headings without looking flashy. Spacing appears comfortable in the sample text, producing an even gray value across lines.
