A sturdy slab serif with clearly bracketed, rectangular serifs and smooth transitions into the stems. Strokes are even and calm, with rounded joins and generous interior counters that keep letterforms clear at text sizes. Capitals are well-proportioned and slightly formal, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable rhythm; the double-storey a and g reinforce a traditional text orientation. Figures are lining and sturdy, with consistent weight and simple, familiar shapes.
Well-suited for extended reading in editorial layouts, books, and long-form documents where an even typographic color matters. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and navigational typography when a sturdy, traditional slab voice is desired.
The overall tone is dependable and mildly traditional, balancing a utilitarian workhorse feel with a touch of editorial seriousness. Its slab structure adds authority without becoming overly decorative, making it feel grounded, stable, and legible.
The design appears intended as a reliable slab serif for everyday typography, prioritizing clarity, consistency, and a steady reading rhythm while adding a modest sense of authority through strong, bracketed serifs.
Terminals and serifs stay consistent across the set, producing an even texture in paragraphs. Curved letters (C, G, O, Q) have smooth, controlled bowls, and diagonal forms (V, W, X, Y) read crisp without looking sharp or aggressive.
