A sturdy slab-serif with broad, bracketed serifs and thick, weighty strokes. Curves are generously rounded with subtle shaping at joins, giving an inked, slightly softened texture rather than a sharp, mechanical finish. The lowercase is compact with a moderate x-height, and counters stay open despite the heavy weight. Details like the two-storey “a,” single-storey “g,” and a left-hooking “j” reinforce a traditional, text-oriented construction, while numerals follow the same solid, upright rhythm.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and bold typographic statements where a grounded slab-serif presence is needed. It can also work for packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, traditional tone and clear letterforms.
The overall tone is dependable and assertive, with a familiar, bookish voice. Its heavy slabs and rounded transitions lend a warm, slightly vintage impression that feels practical and confident rather than delicate or ornate.
Likely designed to deliver a classic slab-serif texture with extra weight and a slightly softened, inked character—balancing strong display presence with enough openness and structure to remain readable in short text settings.
The design maintains strong horizontal emphasis through its slab terminals, creating a steady line in text. Spacing appears comfortable for continuous setting, and the heavy forms suggest the font is optimized for impact and resilience at medium-to-large sizes.
