A sturdy slab-serif with broad, nearly rectangular serifs and a calm, even stroke texture. The letterforms feel traditionally proportioned with open counters and clear interior shapes, while terminals stay crisp and squared. Curves are smoothly drawn without sharp contrast, and the overall rhythm reads steady and confident across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to book and magazine typography, where a stable slab-serif voice supports comfortable reading and a strong typographic hierarchy. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and brand systems that want a traditional, trustworthy feel with a slightly more robust footprint than a typical text serif.
The tone is classic and dependable, with a distinctly editorial presence. It suggests seriousness and clarity—more scholarly and institutional than playful—while remaining approachable for long-form reading.
The font appears intended to deliver a reliable slab-serif voice for publishing and general-purpose communication, prioritizing legibility, steady color, and a confident, classic personality.
The design balances strong serifs with relatively open apertures, helping maintain clarity at text sizes. Numerals and capitals carry a firm, structured stance that supports headings as well as continuous text without feeling overly condensed or ornamental.
