A sturdy slab-serif with broad, confidently cut serifs and mostly squared terminals. Strokes are relatively even, with gentle modulation rather than sharp contrast, giving the forms a solid, steady rhythm. The lowercase shows classic book-type proportions with clear counters and a slightly compact feel, while caps are tall and composed with strong horizontals. Details like the firm serifs on stems and the clear, open apertures help maintain legibility in text sizes.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a stable texture and strong serifs support comfortable scanning. It also fits reports, academic materials, and print-forward branding that benefits from a grounded, traditional voice.
The overall tone is dependable and institutional, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and professional. Its strong slab structure adds a hint of vintage printing character without becoming decorative, projecting clarity and authority on the page.
The design appears intended to deliver a reliable slab-serif text face: strong, square-shouldered serifs for structure, restrained contrast for consistency, and classic proportions for comfortable, durable readability across continuous text.
The numerals appear robust and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ weight and serif treatment for consistent color in mixed text. Spacing and shapes suggest a design aimed at steady paragraph texture rather than high-drama display effects.
