A robust slab-serif with squared, bracketed serifs and a steady, print-like rhythm. Strokes are fairly even with moderate contrast, producing dark, confident word shapes without feeling overly heavy. Letterforms are compact and upright with clear counters; joins and terminals stay crisp and mostly flat-ended, and curves are firm rather than calligraphic. The lowercase shows a traditional book-face structure (two-storey a, double-storey g, strong vertical stress), and the numerals follow the same sturdy, utilitarian logic for consistent texture in text.
Well-suited for long-form reading contexts such as books, magazines, and newspaper-style layouts where a stable texture and clear shapes matter. It also works effectively for section heads, pull quotes, and branding that benefits from a sturdy, traditional slab-serif presence.
The tone is authoritative and traditional, evoking newspapers, textbooks, and established institutions. It feels pragmatic and serious, with a warm, familiar editorial character rather than a slick contemporary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver dependable readability with a grounded slab-serif voice—balancing strong serifs and compact proportions to produce an even, printable text color that scales from body copy to display.
In paragraph settings the font creates a strong, even color with distinct letter differentiation, helping it hold up in dense copy and at smaller sizes. The slab serifs add horizontal emphasis that can lend structure to headings and pull quotes while remaining legible in continuous text.
