This is a sturdy slab serif with broad, mostly uniform strokes and clearly defined, bracketed slab terminals. Letterforms are upright and fairly compact, with generous counters and a steady, even rhythm across the alphabet. The serifs read as rectangular and supportive rather than delicate, and curves (C, O, S) stay smooth and controlled without visible contrasty flare. Numerals are straightforward and weight-matched to the letters, with simple shapes that keep the overall texture consistent in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, reports, and instructional material where clarity and consistency matter. Its robust slabs and even color also make it effective for UI copy, tables, and other information-dense settings, while providing a solid, traditional voice for headings and subheads.
The overall tone is dependable and workmanlike, with an understated editorial seriousness. It feels traditional without being ornate, projecting clarity and stability more than personality or flourish.
The design appears intended as a plainspoken slab serif for everyday typography—prioritizing legibility, stability, and a consistent page texture over decorative detailing.
In running text, the face maintains a strong, dark typographic color and a calm cadence, helped by clear joins and unambiguous character silhouettes. The slab structure gives headlines a grounded presence while remaining composed in paragraph settings.
