A sturdy slab serif with bracketed, rectangular serifs and moderately modulated strokes that stay crisp in text. Proportions run broad, with generous internal space and a steady rhythm that reads evenly across mixed case. Terminals are mostly flat and squared, with occasional soft, ball-like details in the lowercase (notably on forms like the double-storey g), adding a touch of warmth to an otherwise structured build. Figures are clear and fairly open, matching the font’s robust serif language and consistent baseline presence.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazine layouts, book interiors, and essays where a firm serif texture is desired. Its broad proportions and prominent serifs also suit headings, pull quotes, and brand identities that need a confident, print-forward voice.
The overall tone is editorial and assured, balancing classic print sensibilities with a slightly contemporary clarity. It feels dependable and forthright, projecting seriousness without becoming ornate, and carries a subtle friendliness through its rounded details and open forms.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif voice that remains comfortable in long-form settings. It aims for clarity and consistency first, then adds restrained personality through rounded terminals and measured contrast, bridging text utility with display presence.
In the sample text, the letterspacing and counters keep paragraphs legible while the slabs provide strong word shapes. Capitals have a stable, signage-like firmness, while the lowercase maintains a practical, workhorse texture suited to continuous reading.
