A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, blocky serifs and clear vertical stress. Strokes are fairly even with noticeable but not dramatic contrast, producing a solid, print-forward texture. Curves are generous and well-contained, while joins and terminals read crisp and squared, with occasional light bracketing where stems meet serifs. Spacing and proportions favor breadth and stability, and the lowercase maintains a steady, conventional rhythm suitable for continuous reading.
Well-suited to editorial layouts where a firm serif voice is needed, including magazines, reports, and book typography. The strong slab serifs and clear forms also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and display settings, and it can add a classic, dependable feel to branding and packaging when a sturdy serif is desired.
The overall tone feels authoritative and bookish, with a confident, institutional presence. Its heavy slabs and steady rhythm suggest reliability and seriousness rather than delicacy, giving it a classic editorial voice with a subtly robust, workmanlike edge.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with extra structural weight and emphatic serifs, balancing familiarity with added impact. The goal appears to be dependable legibility and a confident typographic tone that works in both text and display contexts.
The numerals appear bold and highly legible with strong silhouettes, matching the capitals’ weight and presence. In text, the face produces a dark, even color that holds up well at larger sizes and remains structured and orderly across mixed-case settings.
