A sturdy slab-serif with clear, squared-off serifs and mostly uniform stroke weight. The serifs read as firm and supportive, with modest bracketing that softens joins without losing the blocky, structured feel. Counters are open and generously proportioned, and the overall rhythm is steady and readable. Uppercase forms are conventional and balanced; lowercase shows a two-storey “a,” single-storey “g,” and straightforward, workmanlike shapes with minimal flourish. Figures are lining and fairly linear in construction, matching the text color and presence of the letters.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a solid, readable slab serif can carry long passages while still offering enough presence for subheads and pull quotes. It can also serve in book interiors, reports, and institutional communications that benefit from a steady, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is traditional and pragmatic, with a dependable, print-oriented voice. Its slab structure lends an institutional, textbook-like seriousness while remaining approachable for general reading. The look suggests clarity and stability more than personality or display eccentricity.
Likely designed as a practical slab-serif text face that prioritizes consistent color, clear letterforms, and dependable readability, while borrowing just enough traditional detailing to keep the texture comfortable on the page.
The face maintains an even texture across mixed-case text, with punctuation and numerals sitting comfortably at text sizes. Terminals stay crisp and squared, reinforcing a no-nonsense, typographic utility character that still feels warm enough for long-form settings.
