A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed terminals and a crisp, print-like finish. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin modulation without becoming delicate, paired with substantial rectangular serifs that anchor the forms. Proportions read slightly expanded with generous counters and clear apertures, giving the design an open, steady texture in text. The lowercase is compact and readable with straightforward joins and a consistent vertical rhythm, while capitals feel solid and formal with even spacing and stable horizontals.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other long-form reading where a firm serif structure supports clarity. Its substantial serifs and confident outlines also work for headlines, pull quotes, and brand or packaging applications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, combining a traditional book-type seriousness with a slightly poster-ready presence. It feels disciplined and trustworthy rather than playful, with enough warmth in the bracketing to avoid a cold, mechanical look.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif reading experience with a clear, structured rhythm—balancing classic proportions and noticeable contrast with sturdy terminals for reliable legibility and presence.
Text samples show a strong baseline and even color across lines, with serifs that remain distinct at display sizes and maintain clarity in longer passages. Numerals appear straightforward and legible, matching the serifed, print-oriented character of the letters.
