A crisp slab serif with square-ended terminals and sturdy, bracketless serifs that read cleanly at text sizes. Strokes are mostly even, with modest modulation and clear, open counters that keep the texture calm and legible. Proportions feel fairly classical and slightly narrow in the round letters, with consistent vertical stress and careful spacing that produces an orderly rhythm in paragraphs. The lowercase shows straightforward, utilitarian forms (single-storey a and g), and the numerals are clear and workmanlike with simple, stable shapes.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and reports where a steady rhythm and clear letterforms matter. It can also support straightforward branding, packaging, or signage that benefits from a structured slab-serif presence without calling attention to stylistic quirks.
The overall tone is reserved and dependable, with an editorial, bookish seriousness. Its square slabs add a subtle sense of authority and structure without feeling ornamental, giving it a practical, institutional voice.
The design appears intended as a practical slab serif for general typography—prioritizing clarity, even texture, and a disciplined, traditional voice that remains comfortable in continuous text.
In the sample text, the face holds a steady color across lines, with serifs that remain distinct and help guide the eye along the baseline. The punctuation and basic symbols match the same squared, restrained detailing, reinforcing a consistent, no-nonsense character.
