A readable slab-serif with bracketed, rectangular serifs and a steady vertical rhythm. Strokes show clear modulation, with sturdy stems and lighter connecting curves, producing a crisp, slightly engraved texture in text. The lowercase uses traditional proportions with a moderate x-height and open counters; terminals often finish in rounded or ball-like forms (notably on letters such as a, c, f), while ascenders and descenders remain straightforward and unornamented. Numerals appear oldstyle, aligning with the text color rather than sitting uniformly on the baseline.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine articles, where its stable serifs and consistent rhythm support comfortable scanning. It can also serve for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a classic slab-serif voice.
The overall tone feels bookish and editorial, combining a traditional, trustworthy presence with a hint of refinement from the stroke contrast and rounded terminals. It reads as composed and classic rather than playful or overtly modern.
Likely designed to deliver a dependable text face with recognizable slab-serifs, adding personality through restrained contrast and rounded terminals while keeping proportions and spacing oriented toward continuous reading.
In the sample text, the face maintains an even, calm color at larger text sizes, with serifs and ball terminals contributing character without becoming overly decorative. The oldstyle figures and slightly calligraphic modulation reinforce a page-oriented, literary impression.
