A compact slab serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and clearly defined terminals. Strokes show a measured contrast, with strong verticals and slightly finer connecting strokes, creating a steady, print-oriented rhythm. Counters are fairly open for a slab, and spacing feels disciplined, producing a tidy texture in paragraphs. The lowercase features double-storey forms where expected, along with a robust, readable set of numerals that matches the typeface’s solid construction.
Well suited to editorial typography—book interiors, magazine text, essays, and reports—where a solid serif voice and clear word shapes help sustain long-form readability. It can also serve effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and section titles when a classic, dependable tone is desired.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with a calm, editorial demeanor. Its firm serifs and controlled contrast give it an institutional feel—reliable, measured, and a bit formal—without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a practical slab-serif reading face that balances sturdiness with refinement. Its controlled contrast and bracketed slabs aim for clarity and consistency across paragraphs while preserving a traditional, print-centered character.
In the sample text, the font maintains a consistent color and stable baseline across long lines, suggesting it is comfortable in continuous reading. The slab details remain distinct at text sizes, lending emphasis and structure to headings while keeping body copy composed.
