A sturdy slab-serif design with squared, blocky terminals and subtly bracketed joins that soften the corners. Strokes show clear, moderate contrast, with strong verticals and slightly lighter connecting strokes, producing a firm, structured rhythm. Proportions are on the broader side, with open counters and generous side bearings that keep letterforms clear at text sizes. Lowercase forms are straightforward and readable, with a double-storey “g” and compact, utilitarian details that emphasize stability over ornament.
It performs well in editorial typography—magazines, essays, and book interiors—where its slab serifs and moderate contrast provide a confident text color. The broader proportions and emphatic serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and section titles. It can support academic or institutional materials and brand systems that need a traditional, authoritative serif with strong presence.
The overall tone is serious and dependable, with a classic, print-forward voice. Its broad stance and emphatic serifs suggest institutional credibility—well suited to content that aims to feel established, factual, and composed rather than trendy or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, readable slab-serif voice that balances classic print conventions with clear, contemporary regularity. Emphasis is placed on stable horizontals, consistent serif treatment, and reliable legibility across both display and text settings.
Serifs remain consistent and weighty across the set, creating strong horizontal anchoring on baselines and caps. Numerals appear sturdy and evenly weighted, matching the text color of the letters and supporting tabular or data-adjacent use without looking delicate.
