A restrained slab-serif with square, flat serifs and mostly uniform stroke weight. The construction is clean and upright, with straight-sided stems, simple terminals, and minimal modulation, giving it a crisp, engineered rhythm. Counters are fairly open for the width, and the lowercase keeps familiar, text-oriented shapes with sturdy serifs and clear joins. Numerals are straightforward and legible, matching the same squared serif treatment and steady proportions.
Well-suited to continuous reading in editorial layouts where a slab-serif texture and firm baseline anchoring are desired. It can also support headings, pull quotes, and navigational typography in print or screen contexts that benefit from clear, structured letterforms.
The overall tone feels bookish and composed, with a traditional editorial presence tempered by a slightly utilitarian, no-nonsense finish. Its square serifs and steady strokes suggest reliability and clarity rather than ornament or flourish.
Likely designed as a practical slab-serif for text-driven settings, aiming to combine classic serif conventions with crisp, squared detailing for clarity and a controlled, contemporary edge.
The typeface maintains consistent serif size and alignment across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing an even typographic color. The square-ended details and compact proportions give it a tidy, disciplined look that reads as confident without becoming heavy.
