A sturdy slab-serif with robust, blocky serifs that read as mostly flat-ended and slightly bracketed into the stems. The design shows clear stroke modulation without becoming delicate, with broad verticals, compact curves, and open counters that keep letters legible at text sizes. Uppercase forms feel stately and squared in their proportions, while the lowercase is compact with a steady rhythm and prominent serifs; details like the two-storey “a” and “g” and the ball terminal on “f” reinforce a traditional text-face construction. Numerals are bold and stable, with strong vertical emphasis and consistent serif treatment that matches the letters.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, reports, and editorial layouts where a strong serif presence helps guide the eye. It also performs confidently in headlines, pull quotes, and signage-style applications that benefit from a solid, authoritative typographic voice.
The overall tone is confident and established, evoking book typography, institutional print, and traditional editorial settings. Its heavy serifs and firm geometry add a sense of reliability and seriousness, while the open shapes keep it approachable and readable.
Likely designed as a dependable slab-serif for text and display, balancing traditional letter construction with a firm, square-shouldered serif structure to deliver clarity, weight, and a classic editorial character.
Spacing appears generous enough to prevent the dense slabs from clogging in running text, and the face maintains a consistent dark color across lines. Round letters (C, O, Q) retain a controlled, slightly squared curve profile that aligns with the font’s sturdy, engineered feel.
