A sturdy slab-serif with clear, rectangular serifs and mostly flat terminals. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with stronger verticals and finer connecting curves, giving the letters a crisp, print-oriented rhythm rather than a purely geometric feel. Counters are open and well-shaped, and curves (C, O, S) read smooth against the firm serif structure. Numerals are proportionate and clear, with simple, readable forms and consistent serif treatment.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial settings where a strong serif voice helps guide the eye across lines. It also works effectively for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and institutional or academic materials that benefit from a solid, dependable typographic tone.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial—confident, steady, and a bit formal. The bold, squared serif presence adds authority, while the controlled contrast keeps it refined enough for text-forward design.
The design appears intended to provide a classic slab-serif texture that stays highly legible in paragraph use while still carrying enough weight and structure to stand up in display settings. Its combination of firm serifs, open counters, and controlled contrast suggests a pragmatic, print-centric approach.
Lowercase forms maintain a conventional, readable construction (double-storey a and g), and the punctuation and apostrophe in the sample text appear sturdy and un-fussy. The silhouette stays disciplined across the set, balancing robust slab details with smooth internal curves for comfortable reading.
