A sturdy slab serif with firm, mostly uniform strokes and clearly bracketed, rectangular serifs. Curves are smooth and restrained, with round forms that stay open and readable (notably in C, G, e, and s) and a consistent, even rhythm across lines of text. Capitals are broad and steady, while the lowercase keeps a familiar, bookish structure with single-storey a and g, a straightforward ear on r, and calmly proportioned figures.
Well-suited to continuous reading in editorial layouts, textbooks, and long-form documents where a stable, serifed texture helps guide the eye. It can also serve effectively in reports, branding systems that need a grounded voice, and UI/desktop publishing contexts where clear letterforms and steady spacing matter.
The overall tone is dependable and workmanlike, with a traditional editorial feel. Its solid serifs and even color suggest clarity and seriousness rather than display flair, giving text a composed, institutional confidence.
The design appears intended as a general-purpose slab serif for clear, no-nonsense typography. It emphasizes legibility and consistency—delivering a traditional, reliable presence that holds up across paragraphs and mixed-case settings.
The shapes avoid decorative quirks, leaning on clear joins, stable horizontals, and predictable terminals. In paragraph setting the texture remains uniform and calm, supporting sustained reading without calling attention to individual letterforms.
