A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, mostly bracketed serifs and a solid, even typographic color. Letterforms are upright with broad proportions and generous internal spaces, giving counters a clean, open feel. Strokes read as largely monolinear at text sizes, with subtle modulation and firm terminals that keep edges crisp. The design balances round forms (O, C) with squared-off details and confident horizontals, producing a steady, readable rhythm across mixed-case settings and numerals.
Well suited to editorial typography where a stable, confident serif is needed for both headlines and supporting text. It can carry long-form reading comfortably while also scaling up for magazine titles, posters, and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, traditional voice.
The tone is classic and workmanlike, combining an editorial seriousness with a friendly, approachable solidity. Its bold serifs and broad stance add authority without feeling ornate, suggesting a pragmatic, print-forward personality.
Likely designed to deliver a dependable slab-serif texture that performs reliably in print-like layouts, offering strong presence in display sizes while retaining straightforward readability in text.
The mix of strong slabs and open apertures helps maintain clarity in dense paragraphs, while the overall breadth supports standout headline setting. Numerals and capitals appear built for consistency and emphasis rather than delicacy.
