A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, squared terminals and mostly bracketed joins that soften the slabs into the stems. Strokes show noticeable modulation—rounds and joins thin slightly compared to the strong verticals—creating a rhythmic, print-like texture. Counters are moderately tight and apertures lean compact, while the lowercase maintains a readable, workmanlike silhouette with clear ascenders and descenders. The numerals are solid and straightforward, matching the heavy serif treatment and overall even color in text.
Well-suited to editorial headlines and subheads where a firm, classic voice is needed, and it can carry short blocks of text with strong presence. The sturdy slabs also work effectively for posters, branding marks, and packaging that benefit from an authoritative, heritage-leaning feel.
The tone is classic and dependable, evoking book typography and institutional printing. Its weight and slab structure add authority and emphasis, while the slight modulation keeps it from feeling purely industrial. Overall it reads as confident and formal without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to blend traditional slab-serif solidity with enough stroke modulation to remain comfortable in reading contexts. It aims for a dependable, print-forward personality that holds up at display sizes while staying legible in text settings.
The serif treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, giving paragraphs a cohesive, anchored baseline. In the sample text, the face produces a dense, high-contrast page presence that favors clarity and impact over airiness.
