A robust slab-serif with pronounced, blocky serifs and largely unbracketed joins, giving strokes a crisp, constructed feel. Letterforms show moderate stroke contrast and clean, upright proportions with compact curves and squared-off terminals. The lowercase is readable and steady, with a two-storey “a” and “g,” a fairly tall x-height relative to capitals, and firm vertical stress; spacing feels even and text color is dark and consistent. Numerals are sturdy and straightforward, matching the typeface’s squared serif treatment and overall rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a firm, dark text color and clear letterforms are beneficial, including book interiors, magazines, and reports. The strong slab presence also supports short display use—headlines, pull quotes, posters, and packaging—especially when a classic, authoritative voice is desired.
The font conveys a traditional, no-nonsense tone—solid, dependable, and slightly institutional. Its strong slabs add a sense of authority and structure, while the restrained detailing keeps it calm and workmanlike rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a pragmatic slab serif for reading and general-purpose typography, balancing traditional serif conventions with squared, emphatic terminals for added presence and durability on the page.
Round letters like C, O, and Q retain smooth bowls but are anchored by emphatic slab endings, creating a distinctive mix of softness and solidity. The capitals feel particularly stately due to wide tops and strong horizontals, while the lowercase maintains a practical, print-oriented cadence in paragraph settings.
