A sturdy slab-serif design with pronounced, squared serifs and clear bracket transitions into the stems. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with heavier verticals balanced by thinner horizontals and refined interior counters. The lowercase has a traditional, bookish structure with a two-storey “g” and compact joins, while terminals and joins occasionally flare into small teardrop/ball-like details that add texture. Overall spacing reads generous and steady, supporting an even typographic color in running text while keeping crisp, high-contrast edges in display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form articles where a strong serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively in headlines, pull quotes, and branding applications that need a grounded, authoritative presence with classic typographic cues.
The font feels confident and editorial, combining a classical text sensibility with a slightly punchy, print-forward voice. Its strong slabs and firm rhythm suggest authority and reliability, while the subtle terminal details lend a crafted, literary tone rather than a purely utilitarian one.
Likely intended as a contemporary take on a robust slab serif for editorial work—prioritizing strong line presence, clear word shapes, and a confident texture that holds up in both display settings and extended reading.
Capitals are broad and stable with emphatic serifs that help anchor lines. Numerals are bold and traditional in flavor, with distinctive curved forms (notably in “2” and “3”) that keep the set expressive without becoming decorative.
