A low-contrast slab serif with steady, even stroke weight and clearly articulated, mostly square-ended serifs. The proportions run on the broader side, with generous spacing and open interior shapes that keep letters airy at text sizes. Serifs are firm and readable, with subtle bracketing on many joins that softens the overall texture without losing crispness. Round forms (O, C, Q) are smooth and fairly wide, while verticals stay straight and stable, producing a calm, consistent rhythm across lines.
Well suited to editorial typography where a solid serif presence is desired without heavy contrast—book interiors, long-form articles, and academic or cultural publishing. The broad proportions and open counters also make it effective for display lines such as headlines, pull quotes, and section titles where a measured, authoritative tone is helpful.
The tone feels traditional and literary, with a practical, slightly typewriter-adjacent straightforwardness. Its sturdy slabs and open shapes give it an earnest, dependable voice that reads as editorial and institutional rather than flashy or expressive.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif voice that remains readable and composed in continuous text. Its consistent strokes, open spacing, and disciplined terminals suggest a focus on dependable typographic color for print-oriented, content-forward layouts.
Uppercase forms present strong, clear silhouettes with prominent serifs and balanced widths, while the lowercase maintains an approachable, readable texture with distinct shapes for key letters like a, g, and y. Numerals are clear and evenly weighted, matching the text color well and keeping the overall palette cohesive.
