A sturdy slab-serif with firm, rectangular serifs and mostly low-contrast strokes. The letterforms show moderate proportions with a steady rhythm, combining broad, open curves (notably in C, G, O) with crisp joins and squared-off finishing. Serifs are substantial and consistent, giving the type a grounded texture in text, while capitals read cleanly with slightly compact bowls and strong vertical emphasis. Lowercase forms are straightforward and legible, with a single-storey g and a rounded, readable e; numerals are robust and align well with the overall weight and serif treatment.
It works well for editorial layouts, book and long-form text, and section headlines where a solid, readable serif is desired. The sturdy serifs and steady stroke weight also suit branding applications that need a credible, established feel, and display settings like posters where the slab structure can carry impact without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone feels confident and editorial, with a traditional, institutional voice. Its slab structure and even color suggest reliability and seriousness rather than delicacy, making it feel suited to established brands and content-forward design.
The design appears intended to provide a pragmatic slab-serif voice: stable, readable, and assertive across both display and text sizes, with consistent serifs and straightforward forms that prioritize clarity and typographic authority.
In paragraph setting, the font maintains an even typographic color with clear word shapes and stable spacing. The slab serifs add a distinct texture without creating high-contrast sparkle, supporting longer runs of text while still delivering a strong headline presence.
