A readable serif with sturdy, squared-off slab serifs and mostly even stroke weight, producing a clear, structured texture. Serifs are prominent and clean, with subtle bracketing in places, and the letterforms lean on classical proportions with open bowls and counters. Curves are smooth and round (notably in O, C, and the lowercase o), while joins stay crisp, giving the face a composed, print-oriented rhythm. Numerals are clear and conventional, matching the overall serif detailing and maintaining strong baseline presence.
Well-suited for body text and longer reading in editorial layouts, books, and reports where a steady rhythm and clear word shapes matter. It also works for headings and pull quotes when a traditional, structured serif presence is desired without feeling overly ornamental.
The overall tone feels editorial and bookish—measured, familiar, and dependable rather than flashy. Its slab-serif firmness adds authority and practicality, while the open shapes keep the mood approachable and calm.
The design appears intended to merge slab-serif sturdiness with classic readability: strong serifs for emphasis and alignment, paired with open counters and restrained detailing for comfortable setting in paragraphs and headlines.
Spacing and sidebearings appear generous in text, helping maintain clarity at display and text sizes. The design balances round, friendly internal shapes with squared terminals, creating a steady cadence that suits sustained reading.
