A sturdy slab-serif with clearly bracketed serifs and softly rounded transitions that keep the texture calm rather than sharp. Strokes show noticeable contrast, but the overall color remains even, with broad, stable horizontals and confident verticals. Counters are open and generously proportioned, and the letterforms sit with a slightly wide stance that reads clearly in both capitals and lowercase. Details like the ball-like terminals on some lowercase letters and the neatly shaped numerals add a traditional, bookish finish without becoming ornate.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a firm, traditional voice is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines, subheads, and pull quotes, where the slab serifs and moderate contrast provide presence without excessive harshness.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—measured, trustworthy, and a little old-style in spirit. Its slab structure gives it a grounded, institutional feel, while the softened serifs and rounded details keep it approachable and readable.
Likely intended as a readable slab-serif for editorial typography—combining robust, print-friendly structure with refined contrast and softened details to support both display emphasis and comfortable text setting.
In text, the rhythm is steady and well-paced, with clear word shapes and distinct uppercase forms. The numerals appear designed to harmonize with the text weight and contrast, making them suitable for mixed editorial content.
