A sturdy slab-serif design with strong, squared serifs and mostly even stroke modulation, giving letters a firm, anchored silhouette. Serifs read largely unbracketed and flat-ended, with pronounced horizontal feet on capitals and a consistent rhythm across the alphabet. Lowercase forms are compact and clear, with a single-storey “g” and a “t” that has a broad, flat crossbar; the “a” is two-storey and the “y” descends with a confident, straight finish. Curves are smooth but controlled, and several joins show subtle notch-like shaping that helps keep counters open at text sizes. Numerals are clear and traditional, with a curved “2” and a “7” featuring a strong horizontal top.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazines, newspapers, and book layouts—where a robust slab serif can carry both text and display roles. It also fits branding and packaging that needs a traditional, trustworthy voice, and performs nicely for headings where the squared serifs add impact without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, with an institutional, editorial feel. Its square serifs and firm proportions project authority and stability, while the clean interior spacing keeps it approachable rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a practical, readable slab serif with a confident presence: strong serifs for emphasis, restrained detailing for consistency, and open counters to maintain clarity in continuous reading.
Distinctive details include a capital “Q” with a pronounced tail and a capital “J” with a rounded hook. The sample text shows steady color on the line with strong word shapes and crisp punctuation, supporting longer reading without looking delicate.
