A sturdy serif with prominent, slab-like terminals and gently bracketed joins that soften the overall texture. Strokes show a clear but not extreme contrast, with strong verticals and thicker horizontal slabs that give the letters a grounded, blocky rhythm. The lowercase has a traditional, bookish structure with a double-storey “a” and “g,” rounded bowls, and occasional ball-like terminals, while the figures are weighty and highly legible. Overall proportions feel slightly compact with substantial stems and a consistent, print-oriented color on the page.
Well suited for magazine-style headlines, pull quotes, and editorial titling where strong serifs add emphasis. It can also serve in posters, labels, and brand marks that need a classic, trustworthy voice with high readability at display sizes.
The font conveys an editorial, authoritative tone—confident and dependable rather than delicate. Its slabby serifs and solid construction suggest heritage and seriousness, while the rounded details keep it approachable and readable.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif forms with a more forceful, slab-influenced finish, prioritizing impact and clarity. Its consistent weight and pronounced terminals point to a typeface made for confident typography in print-like layouts and bold messaging.
In text, the face holds a steady line and produces a dense, even texture suited to emphatic reading sizes. The heavier serifs and sturdy joins help characters remain distinct, giving it a strong presence in headlines and short blocks of copy.
