A composed slab-serif with sturdy, fairly uniform stroke weight and pronounced, squared serifs that read as firm but not overly heavy. The capitals are broad and evenly proportioned, with clean, open interior spaces and a steady horizontal rhythm. Curves are smoothly drawn and paired with crisp joins, while the lowercase shows traditional book-face structure with a two-storey “a” and “g,” clear vertical stress, and a moderate, readable x-height. Numerals are straightforward and text-oriented, matching the serif treatment and maintaining consistent alignment and spacing.
Well-suited to magazines, books, and other editorial layouts where a steady, traditional slab serif can carry paragraphs comfortably. The broad capitals and firm serifs also make it effective for headlines, section openers, reports, and institutional communications that benefit from a clear, authoritative texture.
The overall tone is confident and quietly formal, combining a classic editorial feel with an understated solidity. It suggests reliability and clarity rather than display flamboyance, giving text a settled, traditional voice.
The design appears intended as a readable, no-nonsense slab serif that balances classic proportions with sturdy detailing for dependable typography across text and display settings.
Serifs and terminals stay consistent across the set, helping long passages feel stable and well-paced. The wide set and generous counters keep forms readable at larger and moderate text sizes, while the low-contrast construction preserves even color on the page.
