A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed, blocky serifs and mostly vertical stress. Strokes feel confident and moderately contrasted, with firm horizontals and generous, open counters that keep the texture readable in continuous text. Proportions are fairly traditional, with a normal x-height and clear differentiation between uppercase and lowercase. Details like the two-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a crisp, readable ampersand reinforce a conventional, text-forward construction.
Well-suited to editorial typography, long-form reading, and textbook-like layouts where sturdy serifs and open counters support clarity. It also performs well for headlines, institutional branding, and packaging or labels that benefit from a confident, traditional slab-serif presence.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, with a bookish, institutional flavor that reads as authoritative without feeling ornate. Its slab-serifs add a hint of collegiate and vintage print character, lending a grounded, pragmatic voice suitable for serious messaging.
The design appears intended as a workhorse slab serif that balances classic proportions with strong, bracketed serifs for stability and readability. It aims to deliver a dependable, print-friendly texture that can move comfortably between text and display settings.
Numerals appear robust and print-oriented, with clear shapes and stable footing; the 2 and 3 show rounded joins, while the 7 has a strong angled top. The Q’s tail is distinctive and clearly separated within the counter, aiding recognition. Spacing and rhythm in the sample text produce an even, steady color appropriate for paragraphs.
