A sturdy slab serif with bracketed, blocky serifs and compact proportions. Strokes show a clear but controlled contrast, with thick verticals and slightly lighter connecting strokes, producing a dark, confident color in text. Terminals are mostly squared and firm, counters are moderately open, and curves have a slightly flattened, engineered feel. The lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, with a single-storey g and a strong, angular presence; figures are robust and align well visually with the caps.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and headline work where a strong serif voice is desired. The solid slabs and dark text color also make it effective for posters, packaging, and branding that needs a trustworthy, established tone.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a pragmatic, no-nonsense sturdiness. Its bold slab details suggest heritage printing and editorial seriousness while remaining approachable and readable.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif voice with strong structural serifs and controlled contrast, balancing traditional print character with clear, contemporary readability.
In running text the face builds an even rhythm with pronounced slab anchors at the baseline and cap line, giving paragraphs a stable, grounded texture. The design favors clarity and impact over delicacy, making it feel confident at larger sizes and dependable in dense settings.
