A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, mostly flat-ended serifs and a clear vertical stress. Strokes show noticeable contrast: heavier verticals paired with slimmer horizontals and joins, yielding a crisp, print-like rhythm. The proportions are generously set with open counters and a relatively broad footprint, while details like the two-storey “a” and “g,” ball terminals on “f,” and a compact, bracketed serif treatment give the face a disciplined, editorial texture. Numerals are clear and fairly classical in structure, with strong horizontals and stable, upright forms.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book covers, pull quotes, and section heads where a firm serif texture is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, trustworthy tone, and works effectively for display or short-to-medium text where crisp contrast and slab structure are assets.
The overall tone is authoritative and literary, balancing a traditional, bookish voice with a confident, contemporary crispness. Its solid slabs and high-contrast drawing create a sense of reliability and seriousness without feeling overly ornate.
Likely designed to deliver a classic slab-serif presence with modern clarity—combining robust serifs, high-contrast structure, and clean terminals for confident reading and strong typographic hierarchy.
In text, the face maintains strong baseline presence and distinct letter identities, aided by sharp terminals and well-defined apertures. The slab treatment reads clearly at larger sizes and retains a structured, typeset feel in paragraph settings.
