A sturdy slab serif with bracketed, rectangular serifs and gently rounded joins. Strokes are largely even with restrained modulation, giving the letters a steady, print-oriented texture. Counters are open and proportions feel balanced, with a relatively large x-height and straightforward, vertical stress. The lowercase shows traditional shapes (including a single-storey g) and the overall rhythm reads clear and consistent in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as books, long-form reading, magazines, and reports where a stable, serifed texture is desired. It can also serve in understated branding and packaging that benefits from a trustworthy, traditional voice, and works cleanly for headings paired with readable body copy.
The font conveys a classic, dependable tone with a literary, editorial feel. Its slab serifs add a subtle sense of authority and structure without becoming decorative, making it feel familiar and composed.
Designed to be a dependable, general-purpose slab serif that prioritizes clarity and an even reading rhythm, while introducing just enough traditional detail—especially in the figures and serif treatment—to feel established and print-ready.
The numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and some descending forms, which adds a traditional, text-centric flavor. Details like the angled tail on Q and the robust serifs on capitals reinforce a grounded, historically informed personality while remaining broadly neutral.
