A structured slab-serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and predominantly square-ended terminals. Strokes are even and calm with minimal modulation, giving the design a steady color on the page. Letterforms are broadly traditional in construction, with clear, open counters and measured proportions; the lowercase reads straightforwardly with a conventional, readable rhythm. Numerals appear lining and similarly sturdy, matching the serifed tone and maintaining consistent weight and spacing.
Performs well in body copy for books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired with extra firmness in the serifs. It also suits academic and institutional materials (reports, catalogs, reference pages) that benefit from a stable, readable texture and a slightly emphatic serifed finish.
The overall tone feels classic and institutional—authoritative without being ornate. Its solid slabs and restrained contrast suggest a dependable, editorial voice suited to reference and long-form contexts rather than expressive display.
Likely designed as a dependable slab-serif for text and editorial typography, balancing classic proportions with robust serifs to maintain clarity and presence across continuous reading settings.
Capital forms maintain a stately presence with wide curves and firm serif punctuation, while the lowercase keeps a practical, text-oriented cadence. The sample text shows stable word shapes and clear differentiation between similar forms, supporting comfortable continuous reading.
