The design is an upright slab serif with firm, squared terminals and relatively even stroke modulation. Serifs are broad and blunt, creating a solid footprint and a steady baseline rhythm. Proportions are straightforward with clear, open counters and a slightly compact, no-nonsense texture that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and longer-form reading where a grounded serif texture is desirable. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, signage, and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, traditional tone without feeling overly decorative.
This typeface feels sturdy, practical, and matter-of-fact, with a distinctly print-oriented, editorial tone. It carries a mild vintage, institutional flavor—confident rather than flashy—making it read as dependable and workmanlike.
The letterforms appear drawn to prioritize clarity and a resilient, authoritative presence across continuous reading. The strong slab serifs and controlled contrast suggest an intent to hold up in print-like settings and deliver a stable, unpretentious voice.
The figures and capitals read bold and anchored, with slab serifs that keep horizontals visually stable. Overall spacing and rhythm produce a dense, consistent color that remains legible at display sizes and holds together in paragraph settings.
