A serif typeface with sturdy slab-like serifs and clear bracketed joins, producing a stable, grounded texture. Strokes show moderate contrast with smoothly tapered curves and firm verticals, and terminals tend to finish in flat, squared ends. Proportions are classically text-oriented with generous counters and a steady rhythm; the lowercase is compact and even, while capitals feel balanced and slightly wide with strong horizontal anchoring. Numerals follow the same restrained, print-like construction and maintain consistent weight and spacing.
Performs well for body copy in print-style layouts such as books, journals, essays, and long-form editorial pages where a steady rhythm and strong baseline are beneficial. It also suits headings, pull quotes, and institutional materials when a conservative, authoritative voice is desired without looking overly ornate.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with an editorial seriousness that reads as measured rather than decorative. Its slab presence adds a quiet authority and a slightly institutional feel, suitable for work that wants to sound dependable and established.
Likely designed to provide a readable, traditional text face with slab-driven sturdiness for contemporary editorial use. The intention appears to balance classic serif proportions with firmer terminals and serifs to increase presence and clarity in both display lines and extended reading.
In continuous text the face holds a consistent color and clear word shapes, with serifs that help guide the eye across lines. The mix of soft bracketing and square-ended finishing gives it a hybrid feel: approachable curves paired with confident, structured endings.
