A crisp slab-serif with square, largely unbracketed serifs and a steady, moderately contrasted stroke. Curves are smooth and open (notably in C, G, and O), while horizontals and verticals stay firm and rectilinear, giving the design a composed, typographic rhythm. Proportions feel traditional with a moderate x-height, clear counters, and fairly even spacing; the lowercase shows a two-storey a and g, and a straight, clean-sided m/n structure. Figures are lining with clear, conventional shapes and simple terminals that match the slab construction.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, magazines, and reports where a sturdy slab-serif voice is desired. It can also support headlines and subheads that need a confident, traditional tone while remaining clean and readable.
The font conveys a bookish, editorial tone—measured, dependable, and slightly formal. Its square serifs and calm proportions suggest authority and clarity without feeling ornate, making it read as contemporary-classic rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a reliable slab-serif for reading and structured layouts, blending traditional letter skeletons with crisp, square serif finishing to create a clear, authoritative texture on the page.
Uppercase forms maintain a balanced, reserved presence, with a symmetrical, classical skeleton and minimal flourish. The lowercase keeps details restrained (simple i/j dots, straightforward r, and a sturdy t), reinforcing a practical, text-oriented character.
