This typeface is a slab-serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and mostly squared terminals, softened by subtle bracketing at joins. Strokes are even and steady with minimal modulation, giving the letterforms a solid, predictable rhythm. Capitals are wide and calmly proportioned, while lowercase forms show traditional serif construction with clear bowls and apertures. Details like a two-storey “g,” a compact “a,” and a “Q” with a distinct tail contribute to a classic, text-oriented feel; numerals are clear and comfortably spaced for continuous reading.
It performs well in editorial contexts such as book interiors, essays, and long-form articles where a stable, readable serif texture is desirable. The strong slabs also give it enough presence for chapter titles, pull quotes, signage-style headlines, and identity work that calls for a traditional, trustworthy voice.
The overall tone reads as bookish and dependable, with a slightly vintage, print-era character. It feels practical rather than decorative—confident, steady, and suited to content-forward design where clarity matters more than flair.
The design appears intended to combine the robustness of slab serifs with a conventional, literary structure, prioritizing legibility and a consistent reading rhythm. Its squared serifs add firmness and personality without pushing into overt display stylization.
Round forms (C, O, Q) stay open and generous, balancing the blockier slab features so the texture doesn’t become overly rigid. The punctuation and basic shapes in the sample maintain consistent color and spacing, producing an even paragraph gray at larger text sizes.
