A low-contrast slab serif with sturdy, mostly square-ended serifs and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes feel consistent and moderately weighted, with clean joins and minimal modulation. Proportions are balanced and readable, with open counters and clear differentiation between rounds and straights; capitals are stately while lowercase forms stay straightforward and functional. Numerals are lining and text-friendly, sharing the same steady, grounded structure.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where the stable texture and open forms support comfortable scanning. It can also serve in reports and formal communications that benefit from a dependable, traditional serif presence.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, leaning toward an editorial, print-oriented voice. Its firm slabs and restrained drawing convey credibility and a mildly academic sensibility without becoming ornate or nostalgic.
Likely designed as a practical slab serif for sustained reading, combining sturdy, square-shouldered details with restrained proportions to produce a calm, consistent page color.
Serifs appear slightly bracketed rather than sharply unbracketed, softening the texture while keeping a solid, anchored baseline. Spacing in the sample text reads generous enough to support paragraph settings, and the forms keep clarity across mixed-case strings and punctuation.
