A sturdy slab serif with crisp, rectangular serifs and mostly uniform stroke weight. The letterforms show moderate proportions and a steady, print-like rhythm, with clear baseline and cap alignment and compact, squared-off terminals. Curves (C, G, O, Q) are generously rounded but finish with firm slab details, while joins remain clean and minimally modulated. Lowercase forms keep straightforward construction, with a single-storey a and g and a clear, legible i/j treatment; numerals are open and plainly drawn with consistent, sturdy detailing.
Well-suited to body text in books, articles, and reports where a steady, readable slab serif is desired. It can also support headings, captions, and brand systems that want a classic, no-nonsense tone with strong typographic presence.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, leaning toward an editorial, bookish voice. Its firm slabs and calm, even color convey authority and clarity without feeling ornate or delicate.
The font appears designed to deliver reliable readability and a consistent page color while adding the structural emphasis of slab serifs. Its straightforward forms and firm terminals suggest an aim toward practical, text-forward typography that still carries traditional authority.
The design balances rounded bowls with emphatic, flat serif endings, producing a solid texture in paragraphs. Spacing and shapes read cleanly in the sample text, giving the face a composed, utilitarian presence suited to longer reading as well as prominent headings.
