A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes are largely uniform with minimal contrast, and the serifs read as strong, squared slabs with slight softening at joins. Counters are open and generously sized, giving the face good clarity in continuous text. The lowercase shows a conventional, text-oriented construction with a two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and a compact “t,” while capitals stay stately and stable with a wide stance and firm horizontal terminals.
Well-suited to book typography and editorial layouts where a stable slab serif can carry long passages without visual fatigue. It can also serve effectively in headlines and subheads when a dependable, traditional voice is needed, and it should translate cleanly to print applications like reports, programs, and institutional materials.
The overall tone is editorial and bookish, leaning traditional rather than trendy. Its weight distribution and firm slabs project authority and reliability, with a quiet academic character that feels at home in reference material and long-form reading.
This design appears intended as a pragmatic, text-first slab serif: wide, readable, and consistent, with confident slabs that add structure without relying on high contrast or decorative gesture. The letterforms prioritize clarity and steady texture, suggesting an aim toward durable everyday typography for publishing and editorial work.
In the sample text, the wide set and open counters keep word shapes distinct, while the squared terminals and pronounced serifs add a structured, slightly formal color on the page. Numerals appear clear and straightforward, matching the same steady, low-drama texture as the letters.
