This typeface is a sturdy slab serif with flat, square-ended serifs and largely uniform, straight-sided construction. The strokes read clean and confident, with a moderate-to-high contrast between thick verticals and thinner connecting strokes, while terminals stay crisp and unrounded. Uppercase forms are broad and steady, with strong horizontal bars and pronounced serif blocks; the lowercase follows with clear, open counters and a practical rhythm suited to continuous reading. Figures appear traditional and text-friendly, with solid weight distribution and clear silhouettes.
It works well for long-form reading in magazines, books, reports, and academic layouts where a firm serif texture helps guide the eye. The confident shapes also suit headlines, pull quotes, and section titling when a traditional, authoritative presence is desired.
The overall tone feels editorial and institutional, projecting authority and reliability without becoming ornate. Its squared serifs and steady proportions give it a composed, no-nonsense voice that fits established, print-forward design cues.
The font appears designed to provide a durable slab-serif reading experience: strong letterforms, crisp serifs, and consistent spacing that maintain clarity in text while offering a classic editorial character.
Serifs are consistently rectangular and largely unbracketed, reinforcing a square, engineered finish across letters and numerals. The design favors clarity over flourish, with minimal curvature and a restrained, utilitarian texture in paragraph settings.
