A robust slab-serif with pronounced, blocky serifs and softly bracketed joins that give the letterforms a carved, ink-friendly feel. Strokes are sturdy with moderate contrast, and the overall construction is classical and disciplined rather than geometric. The lowercase shows compact, readable shapes with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a wide, open “e,” while the uppercase carries broad proportions and strong horizontals. Numerals are clear and old-style-leaning in texture, with distinctive curves and substantial terminals that hold up at text sizes.
Well-suited for editorial typography where a firm, readable texture is needed—books, magazines, long-form articles, and reports. It also performs convincingly in headlines and identity work that benefits from a sturdy, traditional slab-serif voice.
The tone is dependable and authoritative, evoking bookish, institutional, and editorial settings. Its heavy serifs and steady rhythm read as confident and pragmatic, with a subtle vintage print flavor rather than a sleek contemporary voice.
Likely designed to provide a highly legible slab-serif for text and headline use, balancing strong serifs and classical proportions with a resilient, print-oriented texture.
Spacing and color create an even, dark text texture that stays calm in paragraph settings. Terminals and serifs remain consistently squared-off, helping maintain clarity and a strong baseline presence in both display lines and continuous reading.
