A crisp slab-serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs that read as slightly bracketed and smoothly joined into the stems. Strokes are even and calm, with gently rounded curves and open counters that keep text from feeling cramped. Proportions are traditional and measured, with moderate apertures and a steady baseline rhythm; figures are straightforward and readable, with lining-like height and simple, balanced construction.
Well-suited to body copy in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a steady serif texture aids readability. It can also serve institutional and academic materials—reports, journals, and catalogs—where a dependable, traditional tone is desirable.
The tone is composed and literary, suggesting reference works and editorial typography rather than display flair. Its stable slabs and even color convey reliability and restraint, giving it a quietly authoritative voice.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable slab-serif option that maintains a familiar, book-oriented texture while adding the firmness and presence of slabs for clear reproduction in text settings.
In the sample text, spacing and letterfit produce an even gray value that supports continuous reading. The overall detailing favors clarity over ornament, with consistent terminals and a conservative, familiar serif texture.
