A sturdy slab-serif with blocky, bracketed serifs and generally even stroke color. Curves are smooth and full, with open apertures and clear counters that keep letters readable at text sizes. The uppercase has a strong, slightly condensed presence with pronounced verticals, while the lowercase shows classic bookish proportions and a moderate x-height. Terminals and serifs tend toward flat, squared endings, giving the face a crisp, grounded rhythm across words and lines.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine layouts where a firm, readable slab serif is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and institutional branding that benefits from a strong, traditional voice.
The overall tone is dependable and institutional, with a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels at home in editorial and academic settings. Its slab serifs add emphasis and authority without becoming decorative, lending a subtly vintage, print-forward character.
The design appears intended to provide a pragmatic slab-serif workhorse: sturdy, highly legible, and comfortable in continuous reading while still carrying enough presence for display use. Its squared, emphatic serifs and even texture suggest a focus on reliable print-style typography with clear word shapes.
Figures are solid and legible with consistent weight and straightforward shapes, matching the font’s steady text color. The punctuation and spacing in the sample text read cleanly, supporting longer passages without visual fuss.
