A sturdy slab-serif with clearly bracketed serifs and a calm, even rhythm across lines of text. Strokes read mostly even with subtle modulation, while the slabs are broad and confident, giving capitals a solid, anchored feel. Counters are open and round, curves are smooth, and joins feel deliberate rather than sharp. Lowercase proportions are balanced with a straightforward, readable structure and conventional details, producing a familiar text-face silhouette.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a stable serif texture is desired. It can also serve for headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or institutional branding that benefits from a confident slab-serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, leaning toward academic and editorial seriousness. Its robust slabs and measured proportions convey reliability and authority without becoming overly formal or ornamental.
Designed to deliver a dependable slab-serif reading experience with a traditional, print-oriented feel. The emphasis appears to be on clarity and durability—strong serifs, open counters, and restrained detailing that holds up across both display lines and text settings.
The type shows strong presence in larger sizes, where the slab terminals and bracket transitions become more apparent, while maintaining a steady texture in paragraph settings. Numerals appear clear and sturdy, matching the weight and serif treatment of the letters for consistent typographic color.
