A restrained slab-serif with compact proportions, even stroke color, and clearly defined, squared serifs that read as lightly bracketed rather than sharply cut. Curves are smooth and controlled, counters are moderately open, and the overall rhythm is steady and text-oriented. Uppercase forms feel classical and straightforward, while lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g” with tidy joins and minimal flourish. Numerals are simple and utilitarian, matching the same calm, consistent detailing.
Well suited to extended reading environments such as books, magazine articles, essays, and reports where a stable, even text color is beneficial. It can also serve effectively for headings and subheads when a traditional, authoritative voice is desired without overt ornamentation.
The font conveys a quiet, bookish authority—practical and measured rather than expressive. Its slab details lend an editorial and institutional tone, suggesting credibility and structure without feeling heavy or decorative.
The design appears intended as a pragmatic slab-serif for text and editorial typography, balancing traditional letterforms with crisp, squared finishing to maintain clarity and a composed page color.
In the sample text, the face maintains a consistent texture across long lines, with clear word shapes and punctuation that sits cleanly on the line. The slab serifs provide a subtle anchoring effect that helps keep horizontal flow stable in paragraph settings.
