A restrained slab serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and gently rounded joins. Strokes stay mostly even, with only subtle modulation, creating a steady texture in paragraphs. Proportions feel traditional and readable: capitals are well-balanced and slightly wide in key forms like O and Q, while lowercase shows clear differentiation and open counters. Numerals follow the same pragmatic construction, with uncomplicated shapes and consistent spacing that reads cleanly in running text.
Well-suited for body text in books, magazines, and long-form editorial layouts where consistent color and steady spacing matter. It also fits reports, academic materials, and general-purpose print or web typography that benefits from a clear, traditional slab-serif voice.
The overall tone is calm and workmanlike with a quietly classic, editorial sensibility. It suggests reliability and clarity rather than display flair, giving text a composed, institutional feel suited to serious content.
The design appears aimed at a dependable slab-serif workhorse: sturdy serifs for guidance, conservative proportions for familiarity, and a smooth, even texture for continuous reading across paragraphs.
Serifs are prominent enough to guide the eye across lines without becoming sharp or fussy, and the rounding at corners softens the silhouette. The sample text shows an even rhythm and stable word shapes, supporting comfortable long-form reading.
