A crisp slab-serif with flat, square-ended serifs and largely even stroke weight. The design favors broad proportions and generous spacing, with open bowls and clear counters that keep forms legible at text sizes. Serifs read mostly unbracketed and firm, giving capitals a stable, engraved-like stance while lowercase maintains straightforward, minimally calligraphic construction. Curves are smooth but restrained, and joins are clean, producing a calm, consistent rhythm across letters and numerals.

The overall tone is traditional and sober, with a scholarly, print-oriented feel. Its sturdy slabs add authority and clarity without becoming heavy or decorative, making it come across as dependable and editorial rather than playful.
