A wide, light slab-serif with clear vertical stress and moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes. The serifs read as sturdy, mostly squared slabs with subtle bracketing at joins, giving the outlines a crisp but not harsh finish. Uppercase forms are broad and steady, while the lowercase shows open counters and a readable, traditional rhythm; the two‑storey “a” and single‑storey “g” reinforce a classic text-seriffed structure. Numerals are clean and proportional, with ample interior space and consistent serif treatment, contributing to an even, composed color in paragraphs.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book titling where a refined slab-serif voice is desired. It can also work for posters and brand systems that need a classic, trustworthy tone with enough width to feel stately and distinctive.
The overall tone feels editorial and bookish, pairing a scholarly seriousness with a contemporary neatness. Its wide proportions and firm slabs project authority without becoming heavy, making it feel confident and composed rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a modernized, readable slab-serif for editorial and display settings, balancing firm, square-shouldered serifs with open counters and measured contrast. Its proportions and consistent detailing suggest a focus on clarity and authority in text-driven layouts.
The letterforms maintain consistent serif geometry across cases, and the spacing in the sample text suggests a comfortable reading cadence with clear word shapes. Round characters stay open and smooth, while straight-sided forms keep a strong baseline presence, helping the design remain legible at display sizes and in longer lines.
