A sturdy slab serif with broad, block-like serifs and gently bracketed joins. Strokes are largely even with modest modulation, producing a calm, steady texture in text. Proportions are traditional and readable, with open counters and clear differentiation between forms; round letters stay fairly upright while diagonals and joins remain crisp. Numerals and capitals feel solid and balanced, and the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike rhythm without ornamental detailing.
Well suited for body copy in editorial layouts, books, and long-form reading where a firm serif structure aids scanning. It also fits utilitarian print and digital materials—reports, manuals, and educational content—where a traditional, no-nonsense slab serif voice is desirable.
The overall tone is dependable and traditional, leaning toward an editorial and institutional voice rather than playful display. Its strong serifs and even color convey authority and clarity, making it feel familiar and trustworthy in everyday reading.
Designed to provide a plainspoken slab serif for general typography, emphasizing sturdiness, legibility, and consistent texture across mixed case and numerals. The forms prioritize clarity and a classic editorial feel over stylization.
In paragraph settings it produces a stable, moderately dark text color with clear word shapes and consistent spacing. The slab terminals and bracketed transitions help it hold up well at smaller sizes while still looking confident when set large.
