A clean slab serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and largely unmodulated stroke weight. The letterforms are upright with broad proportions and open counters, producing an even, steady rhythm in text. Terminals and serifs read as flat and crisp, with minimal curvature at joins, while curves stay round and controlled. Numerals and capitals feel roomy and well-balanced, with consistent spacing that keeps paragraphs clear at larger sizes.
Well-suited to editorial and publishing contexts where a stable slab serif texture is desirable, including book and magazine typography. It can also serve in headlines and display settings that benefit from its broad proportions and crisp serifs, as well as brand systems seeking a traditional, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, with a slightly robust, institutional feel typical of slab serifs used for serious communication. Its wide set and firm serifs add confidence without becoming heavy or decorative, giving it a measured, dependable voice.
The design appears intended to provide a legible, workhorse slab serif with a wide stance and low-modulation strokes, emphasizing clarity and consistency in both text and display use.
The wide fit and open shapes help prevent clogging in dense text, while the strong serifs create clear word shapes and stable baselines. In the sample text, the texture stays even and readable, with a straightforward, no-nonsense presence.
