A steady slab-serif with clear, bracketed serifs and mostly even stroke weight. The letterforms show moderate contrast and a calm, regular rhythm, with generous apertures and open counters that keep text shapes distinct. Capitals are proportioned conservatively and read as classical rather than condensed, while the lowercase maintains straightforward construction with a two-storey a and g and a readable, workmanlike texture. Numerals are similarly restrained, with simple forms and stable baseline alignment.
Well-suited to editorial typography where consistent texture and clear word shapes matter—books, long-form articles, reports, and general publishing. It can also support headings and subheads when a traditional slab-serif voice is desired without calling excessive attention to itself.
The overall tone is pragmatic and familiar, leaning traditional and institutional. It feels dependable and bookish, with a composed presence suited to serious content rather than display theatrics.
The design intention reads as a practical, general-purpose slab serif that prioritizes clarity and an even reading rhythm. It aims to deliver a familiar, authoritative typographic color suitable for everyday text setting.
Serifs appear strong but not oversized, and the bracketing softens joins for a less mechanical feel. Curves are smooth and round, terminals stay consistent, and spacing looks balanced for continuous reading in the sample text.
