A sturdy slab-serif with broad, square-shouldered serifs and clear, assertive shapes. Strokes are largely even with noticeable but controlled contrast, and joins are smooth rather than mechanical, giving the letters a traditional, bookish rhythm. Counters are open and well-defined, with strong vertical stress and stable proportions that keep forms crisp at text sizes. The lowercase shows compact, workmanlike details (notably in g, a, and t), while capitals are wide and emphatic with confident spacing.
Well-suited for editorial typography where a firm, readable voice is needed, including magazine layouts, book interiors, and pull quotes. It also works effectively for headlines, packaging, and identity systems that want a classic slab-serif presence with strong on-page color.
The overall tone is dependable and authoritative, with a classic editorial feel. Its heavy serifs and steady rhythm project seriousness and clarity, making it feel grounded and practical rather than delicate or fashionable.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, traditional slab-serif texture that holds up in continuous reading while still feeling confident in display settings. Its combination of solid serifs, controlled contrast, and open counters suggests an emphasis on practicality, legibility, and a familiar print-forward character.
Numerals are bold and highly legible, with straightforward construction that matches the type’s sturdy texture. The design maintains consistent serif treatment across upper- and lowercase, producing a strong, even typographic color in paragraphs.
