A serif typeface with sturdy, bracketed slab-like serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a restrained, workmanlike construction with fairly open counters and a calm, even rhythm in text. Capitals are stately and proportionally balanced, while the lowercase keeps compact, readable shapes with a double-storey “a” and “g”, a short-armed “r”, and a straightforward “t” with a flat top. Numerals are clear and traditional, with consistent weight and stable verticals.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and reports where a stable rhythm and clear word shapes are priorities. It can also serve for headings and subheads when a solid, traditional voice is desired without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is dependable and familiar, leaning toward an editorial and institutional feel rather than expressive display. Its slab-serifs add a sense of sturdiness and authority while remaining composed and readable.
The design appears intended as a plainspoken slab-serif for general-purpose typesetting, prioritizing clarity and a confident, durable texture across both text and titling sizes.
Serifs are prominent enough to cue a slab texture, but the joins are softened with gentle bracketing, keeping the texture from feeling overly rigid. Spacing and proportions suggest an emphasis on sustained text setting, with clear differentiation between similar forms (e.g., I/l/1) in the available samples.
