A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed, squared terminals and mostly even stroke weight. The serifs read as blocky and confident rather than delicate, giving the letters a stable footprint and a steady typographic rhythm. Proportions are balanced and text-ready, with open counters and straightforward, conventional forms in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals are clear and solid, matching the same pragmatic, serifed construction.
Works well for long-form reading in print-like layouts, such as books, articles, and reports, where the slab serifs add firmness and guidance across lines. It can also support headlines and section heads when a classic, no-nonsense tone is desired, maintaining a cohesive look from display sizes down to text.
The overall tone feels traditional and dependable, with an editorial, bookish character. It communicates seriousness and clarity without feeling ornate, making it suitable for content-forward settings where readability and a grounded voice matter.
Designed as a reliable slab-serif for general-purpose typography, aiming for clear letterforms, stable spacing, and a steady texture in paragraphs. The emphasis appears to be on practical legibility and a traditional editorial voice rather than expressive, decorative styling.
In text, the slab serifs and restrained contrast produce a consistent gray value and strong baseline presence. The forms appear intentionally conventional, prioritizing clarity and even color over distinctive quirks or dramatic calligraphic influence.
