A steady slab-serif design with robust, mostly bracketed serifs and calm, even stroke behavior. The proportions are readable and workmanlike, with moderate apertures and open counters that keep text clear at typical sizes. Terminals are clean and squared, and several joins show subtle notch-like shaping that adds definition without pushing the face into a display extreme. Overall spacing and rhythm feel consistent across the alphabet, supporting long-form setting.
Well-suited to body text in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a firm serif presence is desired without distraction. It also fits reports, documentation, and brand systems that need a reliable, traditional typographic voice across headings and text. The cohesive figures support data-adjacent use in tables and captions when paired with sensible spacing.
The tone is practical and familiar, evoking classic print typography and no-nonsense signage. It reads as confident and grounded rather than ornate, with a quietly authoritative, editorial feel.
The design appears intended as a versatile slab-serif workhorse: a readable, sturdy text face with confident serifs and restrained detailing for broad, everyday typography.
In the sample text, the face maintains a stable color and predictable cadence, with sturdy capitals and straightforward lowercase forms. The numerals match the text voice with clear silhouettes and simple, unflashy construction, helping the font stay cohesive in mixed-content settings.
