This typeface is a crisp slab serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and clean, controlled curves. Strokes are fairly even with a subtle modulation, and the overall drawing favors clarity over ornament. The capitals feel tall and stately with wide, open counters, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward book-face rhythm and an unforced, readable texture. Spacing is comfortable and the forms stay consistent across letters and numerals, giving paragraphs a steady, measured color.
It suits book-length reading, magazine articles, and other editorial layouts where a stable serif texture supports readability. The strong capitals and clear numerals also make it effective for section heads, pull quotes, captions, and institutional communications that need a confident, traditional voice.
The tone is traditional and academic, with an editorial seriousness that reads as dependable and established. Its slab serifs add firmness and a touch of vintage print character without becoming decorative, making the overall impression composed and authoritative.
The design appears intended as a practical slab-serif workhorse: sturdy enough to hold up in text and headings, restrained in detailing, and built to deliver consistent, legible color across lines and paragraphs.
Rounded joins and gently bracketed terminals soften what could otherwise be a rigid slab, keeping the page color even in longer text. Numerals appear proportionate and clear, aligning well with the surrounding text for mixed editorial settings.
