A sturdy slab-serif with clearly bracketed serifs and confident, slightly condensed proportions in the capitals. Strokes are largely even but show a subtle calligraphic modulation, giving the verticals a firm presence while curves and joins stay crisp. The lowercase is compact and readable with a moderate x-height, open counters, and rounded terminals where appropriate; overall spacing feels measured and steady. Numerals follow the same robust, traditional construction with strong horizontals and clear shapes.
Well-suited to editorial layouts where a firm, classic slab-serif texture is desired, including book typography, magazine text and headings, and article titling. It can also serve in branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional, trustworthy voice and strong typographic presence.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with a calm, editorial rhythm that suggests printed text and institutional typography. Its slab serifs add a grounded, dependable voice, while the gentle modulation keeps it from feeling purely mechanical.
Likely intended to provide a dependable slab-serif for reading and display, balancing robust serifs with controlled modulation to keep long passages comfortable while still feeling distinctive in headlines.
The design maintains consistent serif treatment across uppercase and lowercase, producing a cohesive texture in paragraphs. The capitals are broad and formal, and the lowercase punctuation and dots appear solid and emphatic, supporting legibility at text sizes.
