A sturdy slab-serif with blocky, rectangular serifs and largely even stroke weight throughout. The letterforms favor broad proportions and open counters, giving the text a calm, steady rhythm with clear word shapes. Serifs read as firm and supportive rather than delicate, with squared ends and subtle bracketing in places that smooths transitions into stems. Curves are full and controlled (not overly geometric), and diagonals hold their weight well, contributing to a solid, print-like presence.
Performs well in editorial typography where a dependable slab-serif texture is desired, especially for book interiors, essays, and magazine text. The sturdy details also make it suitable for headlines, pull quotes, and section titles where a classic, authoritative voice is needed without extreme contrast.
The overall tone is traditional and composed, projecting reliability and a quietly academic feel. Its sturdy slabs and generous proportions add an institutional, editorial voice—serious without feeling harsh. The texture stays even across lines, creating a confident, readable page color suited to long-form settings.
Likely designed to deliver a readable, traditional slab-serif voice with strong serifs and stable proportions that hold up in continuous reading. The emphasis appears to be on clear, consistent construction and a reliable typographic color suitable for print-inspired layouts.
