A sturdy serif with thick, squared-off slab feet and small bracket transitions that keep joins from feeling abrupt. Strokes are generally even and low-contrast, with wide, open counters and clear interior space that supports readability at text sizes. The roman shows classic proportions and a steady rhythm, while the lowercase includes traditional forms such as a double-storey “a” and a two-storey “g”. Terminals and details occasionally introduce subtle rounding and small ball-like ends in places, adding warmth to an otherwise architectural, blocky foundation.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a confident, readable serif is needed for both display and body copy. The strong slabs and steady texture also make it effective for headlines, posters, and identity work that benefits from a classic, authoritative feel.
The overall tone is dependable and traditional, with an editorial, bookish voice. Its slab presence suggests authority and clarity, while the gently softened detailing keeps it from feeling purely mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a reliable, workmanlike serif voice that bridges traditional book typography and sturdier slab-driven signage presence. It prioritizes clarity and consistent color on the page, with enough distinctive slab character to hold up in larger sizes.
Capitals read strong and formal, with pronounced slab serifs that anchor lines and create a firm horizontal emphasis. Numerals appear robust and highly legible, matching the text color of the alphabet without feeling overly condensed or overly wide.
