A sturdy slab-serif with broad, squared serifs and gently bracketed joins that soften the otherwise straight, architectural construction. Strokes stay relatively even throughout, with rounded curves in bowls and clear, open counters that keep the texture readable. Proportions are balanced and text-oriented, with a moderate x-height, generous capitals, and steady spacing that produces a calm, consistent rhythm across words and lines. Numerals and punctuation match the same grounded, square-shouldered tone, reading clearly at both display and paragraph sizes.
Well suited to book and magazine typography, essays, and other long-form reading where a robust serif can maintain clarity and even color. It also performs effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and titling that benefits from a confident, traditional slab presence, as well as packaging or labeling that needs a stable, trustworthy voice.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, evoking print-era editorial typography and academic seriousness. Its blocky serifs add authority while the softened transitions and ample counters keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a practical slab-serif for general reading and editorial work: sturdy serifs for authority, low-contrast strokes for durability, and measured proportions to maintain an even texture in paragraphs.
Verticals feel firmly planted and terminals resolve cleanly, giving lines a stable baseline and a slightly mechanical crispness. The italic is not shown; the visible style maintains an upright, straightforward posture with clear differentiation between similar forms in running text.
