A compact serif with sturdy, square slab serifs and mostly unbracketed joins. Stems are dark and steady, while round letters show noticeable thick–thin contrast, giving the face a crisp, print-oriented texture. Proportions are relatively tight with short extenders and a controlled, slightly condensed rhythm; counters stay open and the overall drawing feels firm and orderly. Numerals and capitals share the same robust, straight-edged serif treatment, reinforcing a consistent, workmanlike color in text.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a firm serif structure helps readability and pacing. It can also serve for compact headlines, section heads, and institutional materials such as reports or academic publishing, especially where a traditional yet sturdy tone is desired.
The tone is serious and editorial, combining a classic bookish presence with a no-nonsense sturdiness. Its squared serifs and compact fit suggest authority and clarity, leaning more toward institutional and literary voice than playful or decorative styling.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice for reading and structured content, balancing robust, squared serifs with enough contrast and openness to stay legible in continuous text.
In the sample text, the face maintains an even typographic color across lines, with clear word shapes and strong vertical emphasis. The flat terminals and prominent serifs help anchor lines, while the moderate contrast adds refinement without becoming delicate.
