A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed serifs, mostly vertical stress, and a steady, readable rhythm. Strokes are generally even with modest contrast, while the slabs are broad and decisive, giving letters a grounded, architectural feel. Proportions lean slightly compact with clear counters and open apertures; the lowercase shows a conventional serif structure with a two-storey a and g, a firm, flat-topped t, and a looped descending j. Numerals are robust and old-style in spirit, with strong horizontal terminals and consistent weight across the set.
It works well for editorial settings such as magazines and book typography, where the strong slabs add structure and a confident voice. The font also suits headlines, pull quotes, and poster copy that benefits from a sturdy, traditional serif presence without high delicacy.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative—bookish without feeling delicate. Its bold-ish slab presence reads confident and dependable, evoking familiar editorial and academic typography while staying plainspoken and practical.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice for reading and editorial communication—prioritizing clarity, firm serifs, and consistent texture so it can carry both paragraph text and assertive display lines.
Caps are emphatic and stable, with square-shouldered forms and crisp joins that keep text color consistent in paragraphs. The serif treatment is prominent enough to create character at display sizes, but restrained enough to remain comfortable for longer reading.
