A sturdy slab serif with broad, squared serifs and gently bracketed joins. Strokes are even and calm with minimal contrast, producing a solid, ink-trap-free texture and dependable rhythm in text. Proportions are slightly compact with a short x-height and generous counters, while capitals feel stately and upright with clear, classical construction. Curves are smooth and round (notably in C/O/Q), and terminals stay blunt and confident, giving the face a grounded, workmanlike presence.
Works well for body copy and longer reading where a firm, even texture and strong letterforms help maintain clarity. It suits editorial layouts, textbooks, reports, and institutional or corporate communication, and can also support subheads or captions when a steady slab-serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, with a bookish, editorial flavor that reads as established rather than trendy. Its heavy slabs and measured proportions convey stability and authority, suitable for sober, no-nonsense communication.
Likely designed as a reliable, general-purpose slab serif that prioritizes legibility and consistency over display quirks, offering a classic, authoritative voice for everyday text setting.
The serif treatment is consistent across capitals and lowercase, helping maintain a cohesive texture in paragraphs. Numerals appear straightforward and legible, matching the same sturdy slab logic and keeping a uniform color alongside text.
