A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed serifs and a calm, even rhythm across text. Strokes read mostly uniform with subtle modulation, producing consistent color in paragraphs. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while the lowercase shows open apertures and generous counters that keep small sizes readable. Serifs are prominent but cleanly integrated, and terminals stay straightforward rather than calligraphic, reinforcing a practical, legible texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, reports, and magazines where a steady, comfortable texture is needed. It also works for headlines and signage that benefit from a grounded slab-serif presence, and for branding or packaging that aims for a classic, trustworthy voice without decorative flair.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, with an understated editorial seriousness. Its slab details add a firm, grounded feel, while the open, uncluttered shapes keep it approachable rather than ornate.
The design appears intended as a practical slab-serif workhorse: clear, steady in paragraphs, and confident in display settings. Its bracketed slabs and open, readable interiors suggest a focus on durability, consistency, and broad usability across editorial and general-purpose typography.
In running text the face maintains clear word shapes and a steady baseline, with round letters (o, e, c) staying smooth and open and verticals holding structure. Numerals appear straightforward and text-friendly, matching the surrounding letterforms without drawing attention.
