A sturdy slab serif with clearly bracketed, blocky serifs and a calm, traditional construction. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with heavier verticals and slimmer connecting curves, giving letters a slightly engraved, print-like rhythm. Counters are open and generously shaped, and joins are firm, producing strong word silhouettes in text. Round letters keep a controlled oval stress, while straight-sided forms and flat terminals reinforce a stable, rectangular texture on the line.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where a confident serif texture is desirable. It can also handle section heads and display lines, especially when you want a traditional, authoritative voice with strong vertical structure and clear serifs.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, with an editorial seriousness that feels at home in print. Its pronounced slabs add authority and a subtly historical, bookish character without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif reading face: traditional proportions, clear serifs, and moderate stroke modulation to balance warmth with firmness across both text and display use.
In the sample text, the font maintains an even color and consistent spacing, with serifs that remain prominent at smaller sizes. Numerals appear sturdy and legible, matching the text’s weight and contrast for continuous reading environments.
