This typeface is a serif with sturdy, mostly rectangular slab-like serifs and clean, squared terminals. Strokes feel even and measured, with subtle modulation rather than dramatic thick–thin contrast, and the overall rhythm is steady and legible. Uppercase proportions are classical and slightly wide, while the lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g,” clear ball-less forms, and straightforward, upright construction. Counters are open, joins are crisp, and the figures are lining with consistent width and simple, readable shapes.
It performs well in long-form reading contexts such as editorial layouts, books, and academic or corporate documents, where consistent texture and sturdy serifs support comfortable scanning. It can also serve in headings when a reserved, authoritative voice is desired, especially in print-like or publication-minded design systems.
The tone reads composed and institutional, combining a traditional text-face sensibility with the firmness of slabs. It suggests credibility and clarity rather than ornament, with a quiet, bookish confidence suitable for serious content.
The design appears intended as a dependable slab-serif for continuous text: traditional proportions, familiar lowercase structures, and solid serifs that maintain clarity at paragraph sizes while conveying an established, professional presence.
Serifs are prominent enough to anchor lines without becoming heavy, and the letterforms maintain a consistent, even color in running text. The forms remain conservative—few quirks—so the texture stays smooth and predictable across paragraphs and mixed-case settings.
