A robust slab-serif with broad proportions and a steady, low-contrast stroke structure. The serifs are prominent and largely rectangular, with subtle bracketing that softens joins and corners. Curves are generous and round, producing open counters in letters like O, C, and e, while verticals stay firm and even. Overall spacing and rhythm feel calm and readable, with clear differentiation between uppercase and lowercase forms and sturdy, unpretentious numerals.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and typographic systems that need a classic slab-serif voice. Its strong serifs and wide proportions make it effective for headlines and pull quotes, while the steady stroke behavior supports comfortable reading in short-to-medium text settings. It can also serve branding and packaging that aims for heritage, craftsmanship, or institutional credibility.
The tone is traditional and dependable, leaning toward a literary, institutional voice. Its confident slabs and wide stance give it an authoritative presence that feels at home in print-oriented contexts. The overall impression is composed rather than decorative—more classic and scholarly than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional slab-serif feel with generous width and sturdy, square-leaning terminals, balancing clarity with a distinctly classic presence. It emphasizes legibility and a consistent, authoritative texture rather than stylistic flourish.
In the text sample, the face maintains a stable texture across mixed-case reading, with strong word shapes and clear punctuation. The wide set and prominent serifs give it extra presence at display sizes while still remaining coherent in longer lines.
