A sturdy slab-serif with blocky, square-ended serifs and low stroke contrast. The letterforms have a strong vertical emphasis and a slightly condensed, compact rhythm, with firm joins and mostly closed apertures that create a dense, ink-friendly texture. Curves are controlled rather than calligraphic, and terminals tend to finish flat and decisive, giving the design a steady, architectural feel. Numerals match the overall solidity, with clear forms and consistent weight across curves and straights.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and publications that benefit from a confident, traditional slab voice. It can also perform effectively in headlines and posters where a solid, classic presence is desired, and in packaging or branding that aims for heritage and reliability.
The overall tone is traditional and dependable, leaning toward an editorial, academic voice rather than playful or decorative. Its heavy-looking serifs and compact color suggest seriousness and permanence, with a subtly vintage, print-oriented character.
Likely designed to deliver a classic slab-serif appearance with strong, square-cut serifs and a compact, readable texture, balancing firm display character with practical text utility.
In text, the face builds a dark, even typographic color with pronounced serifs that reinforce horizontal lines. The lowercase appears sturdy and workmanlike, and the capitals present a formal, sign-like presence without relying on high contrast.
