A restrained slab-serif with crisp, bracketed terminals and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes stay fairly consistent with only subtle modulation, while long ascenders and descenders and a relatively small x-height give the lowercase an airy vertical feel. Counters are open and round (notably in O/o and e), and spacing feels measured rather than tight, supporting a steady text color. The serifs read as sturdy and rectangular without becoming heavy, and the overall construction stays clean and conventional across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as book interiors, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady, traditional slab-serif voice is desired. It can also serve reports and formal documents, and works effectively for headings when a classic, composed tone is needed without overt display styling.
The tone is composed and traditional, with an editorial, print-oriented character. Its straightforward forms and stable proportions convey seriousness and reliability, leaning more classic than trendy. The small-x-height silhouette and prominent serifs add a quietly literary, institutional flavor.
Likely designed as a dependable slab-serif for text and editorial typography, prioritizing clarity and consistency over eccentric details. The combination of sturdy serifs, modest stroke modulation, and conservative letterforms suggests an aim for familiar readability and a timeless print sensibility.
Capitals have a dignified presence with broad, simple serifs, while the lowercase keeps familiar text-face cues such as a two-storey a and a compact, legible e. Numerals appear clear and bookish, with classic proportions that match the text rhythm in the sample setting.
