A serif typeface with sturdy, slab-like, bracketed serifs and a clean, even stroke rhythm. Letterforms are upright and relatively open, with smooth curves and gently tapered joins that keep the texture calm and regular in text. The capitals feel stately and balanced, while the lowercase maintains a traditional book-face structure with a single-storey “g” and clear, unembellished shapes. Numerals are straightforward and readable, matching the same steady, slightly oldstyle-inflected color as the letters.
Well-suited to long-form editorial and book typography where a steady, readable texture is needed, as well as academic and institutional materials like reports and documents. It can also support understated branding and headings that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy serif presence without high-contrast drama.
The overall tone is classic and composed, leaning toward an academic and editorial voice. It reads as dependable and traditional rather than expressive, delivering a quiet authority suited to serious content.
Likely designed as a practical, general-purpose slab serif that prioritizes clarity and consistent page color. The restrained detailing and balanced proportions suggest an aim toward dependable reading performance and a familiar, authoritative tone.
Spacing appears comfortable, producing an even typographic gray in the paragraph sample. The serifs are prominent enough to signal a slab heritage, but kept controlled and not overly blocky, supporting legibility at text sizes.
