A sturdy slab serif with squared, bracketed serifs and low stroke contrast. The letterforms favor clear, open counters and measured proportions, with a steady rhythm that holds up in continuous text. Terminals are largely flat and decisive, giving a crisp, structured silhouette, while joins and brackets soften the geometry just enough to avoid feeling mechanical. Numerals are straightforward and well-balanced, matching the text color of the alphabet.
Well-suited to body text in editorial layouts, books, and longer reading, where the slab serifs provide a stable baseline and consistent texture. It can also work effectively for headings, pull quotes, and section titles when a solid, traditional voice is desired.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with an editorial, bookish character. Its slab structure reads as practical and trustworthy, suggesting printed matter and institutional clarity rather than decorative display.
Likely drawn to deliver a dependable slab-serif reading experience: clear, moderately compact forms with a strong baseline and consistent texture for print-like typography and structured layouts.
The lowercase shows a single-storey “g” and a double-storey “a,” reinforcing a conventional reading texture. Curved letters like C, G, and S stay smooth and open, while the serifs and flat terminals keep the texture firmly grounded.
