A sturdy slab serif with bracketed, block-like serifs and a calm, even color on the page. Strokes stay fairly consistent, with gentle modulation rather than sharp contrast, and the forms are broadly proportioned with open counters. Curves are smooth and generous (notably in C, G, O, and Q), while horizontals and serifs add a grounded, architectural feel. The lowercase shows clear, readable shapes with a two-storey g, a double-storey a, and a compact, workmanlike rhythm that holds together well in text.
This face is well-suited to body copy where stability and readability matter, such as books, reports, magazines, and newspaper-style layouts. It can also support headings and subheads when a solid, traditional voice is desired, especially in editorial or institutional design systems.
The overall tone is dependable and traditional, with an editorial, bookish character. It feels authoritative without being ornate, projecting clarity and seriousness suited to long-form reading and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended as a practical slab serif for everyday typesetting: robust serifs for structure, open shapes for readability, and a restrained, consistent rhythm that stays composed across long passages.
Numerals are clear and fairly wide, with classic proportions and strong baseline presence. The punctuation and overall spacing in the sample text suggest a comfortable, steady texture that remains legible at paragraph sizes while still carrying the unmistakable slab-serif personality.
