A contrasted slab serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and clear bracketed joins on many capitals, paired with noticeably thinner connecting strokes in bowls and curves. The design mixes crisp, squared terminals with occasional rounded details, creating a slightly eclectic rhythm across the alphabet. Uppercase forms are stable and wide-set, while lowercase includes compact counters and distinctive terminals (notably in letters like a, g, and r), giving the text a lively texture. Numerals show strong individuality, with pronounced curves and confident verticals that hold their shape at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where the slab structure and contrast can read clearly and add character. It also fits editorial typography, book covers, and branding systems that want a classic voice with a hint of eccentricity. The sturdy serifs and confident numerals make it useful for pull quotes, titles, and short emphatic text.
The overall tone reads editorial and bookish—serious and authoritative, but not sterile. Its contrast and assertive slabs add a refined, traditional voice, while the quirky touches in certain lowercase forms keep it personable and slightly idiosyncratic.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional slab-serif authority while introducing a more individual, display-friendly personality through distinctive terminals and varied detailing. It aims to balance seriousness with character, making it adaptable to both editorial and expressive typographic roles.
The font’s strong horizontals and slabs create clear word shapes and a pronounced baseline presence. In text settings, the mix of sharp corners and occasional rounded terminals produces a distinctive, slightly irregular color that feels intentional rather than purely mechanical.
