A sturdy slab-serif with squared, largely unbracketed serifs and a clean, even stroke presence. The letterforms lean on clear geometry: round characters are broadly open, while straight stems and arms end in flat, blocky terminals that keep the texture steady. Proportions feel balanced with moderate contrast and generous counters, producing a readable, composed rhythm in continuous text. Numerals are clear and conventional, matching the same square-shouldered, slab-footed construction.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and reports where a stable, highly legible slab-serif texture is desirable. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and brand systems that need a traditional, dependable voice with strong typographic presence.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, with a calm, editorial seriousness. Its blocky serifs and measured proportions evoke print-era reliability and an academic or institutional voice without feeling ornate.
Likely designed as a practical, versatile slab-serif for text-forward typography, emphasizing clarity, durability, and a classic printed feel. The square-ended serifs and restrained detailing suggest an intention to deliver consistent color and confident readability across sizes.
Capitals read particularly stable due to wide serifs and firm horizontals, while lowercase maintains clarity through open apertures and simple joins. The shapes avoid decorative flourishes, favoring consistent, workmanlike details that keep spacing and color even across lines.
