A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, squared serifs that are lightly bracketed into the stems. Strokes show clear contrast between thick verticals and finer horizontals, giving the letters a crisp, print-oriented rhythm. Uppercase forms are compact and even, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward structure with solid, rectangular feet and terminals. Counters are moderately open and the overall texture reads dark and steady, with clean joins and firm baseline presence.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, articles, and editorial layouts where a firm serif presence helps guide the eye. It can also support formal branding, packaging copy, and institutional materials that benefit from a classic, authoritative voice.
The font conveys a traditional, institutional tone—confident and composed, with a subtle academic and editorial feel. Its strong serifs and measured contrast suggest seriousness and reliability rather than playfulness, making it feel suited to established, print-like communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif for text and display use, combining robust serifs with controlled contrast to achieve clarity and a traditional print sensibility. Its letterforms aim for legibility and a steady rhythm while retaining a distinctive, sturdy personality typical of classic slab-serifs.
Figures are oldstyle-like in feel, with varied heights and shapes that integrate smoothly with running text. The lowercase ‘g’ appears single-storey, and several letters (like ‘t’ and ‘f’) use short, squared cross-strokes that reinforce the structured, slab-driven character. Overall spacing appears balanced for paragraph settings, producing a consistent typographic color.
