A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, rectangular serifs and gently bracketed joins that soften the slab impact. Strokes are mostly even, with subtle modulation and firm vertical stress, producing a steady, confident color on the page. Counters are open and round, terminals are clean and squared, and the overall geometry feels classical rather than geometric. Uppercase proportions are broad and stable; the lowercase is compact and readable with clear differentiation between similar forms, and the figures follow the same solid, workmanlike construction.
This design suits editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where a sturdy serif can maintain clarity and presence. It also works well for headlines, pull quotes, and branding systems that want a traditional foundation with a robust, contemporary sturdiness.
The overall tone is established and editorial, blending traditional book typography with a slightly industrial, pragmatic edge. It feels reliable and matter-of-fact—well suited to contexts that benefit from clarity and authority rather than flourish or delicacy.
The font appears intended as a dependable slab-serif for reading and display, combining strong serifs and stable proportions to deliver an authoritative voice while keeping text shapes open and familiar for comfortable scanning.
In text, the heavy slabs create strong horizontal anchoring and a rhythmic baseline, giving paragraphs a structured, confident texture. The letterforms avoid sharp eccentricities, prioritizing consistency and legibility, with rounded bowls and squared serifs balancing warmth and firmness.
