This typeface is a serif design with sturdy, slab-influenced serifs and gently bracketed connections into the stems. Strokes show moderate contrast with generally even, confident verticals and round forms that stay open and readable. The lowercase has a traditional structure with two-storey “a” and “g,” and the overall proportions feel balanced rather than condensed or extended. Terminals and serifs read as flat and substantial, giving the letterforms a grounded rhythm across text and display sizes.
It works well for book and long-form editorial typography where a classic serif texture is desired, and it can also support headlines and subheads that need a firm, traditional presence. The sturdy serifs and open interior shapes make it a dependable option for print-forward layouts and text-heavy pages.
The overall tone is editorial and academic, projecting reliability and formality without feeling overly ornate. Its solid serif treatment and conventional letter shapes lend a familiar, institutional voice suited to content that benefits from authority and clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic reading experience with added solidity from slab-like serifs—aiming for legibility, stability, and an authoritative typographic color that remains composed in continuous text.
Numerals appear robust and clear, with strong horizontal elements and stable footing from the serifs. Curved letters like C, G, and S maintain smooth, controlled bowls, while the slabby finishing details add a consistent cadence that supports longer reading.
