A crisp slab-serif with predominantly straight, rectilinear construction and flat-ended serifs that read as firm horizontal caps. Strokes are largely even, with minimal modulation and a calm, steady texture in text. Counters are open and fairly generous, while curves (C, G, O) stay controlled and slightly squared in feeling rather than calligraphic. Lowercase forms are straightforward and text-driven, with a single-storey “a” and compact joins, and numerals share the same sturdy, squared terminal logic.
Well suited to editorial design, magazines, and book typography where a stable, readable slab serif texture is desired. It can also support headlines and branding that benefit from crisp, squared terminals and a restrained, authoritative presence.
The overall tone is composed and matter-of-fact, projecting an editorial seriousness with a subtle utilitarian edge. Its steady rhythm and blunt serifs suggest clarity and authority without becoming ornate or nostalgic.
Likely designed to provide a clean, contemporary take on a classic slab-serif voice: sturdy terminals, predictable rhythm, and clear letterforms aimed at dependable reading performance and straightforward typographic hierarchy.
Spacing appears comfortable and consistent, producing a clean line that holds up well in paragraph settings. The squared terminals and slab serifs give emphasis at word edges, aiding a structured, print-like texture.
