A robust slab-serif with strongly bracketed slabs and a compact, heavy color on the page. Strokes show clear but controlled contrast, with rounded joins and softened interior curves that keep the forms from feeling rigid. Uppercase shapes are broad and stable, while the lowercase has compact counters and a workmanlike rhythm; the overall fit is moderately tight and reads as dense, especially in text. Numerals are sturdy and prominent, with open shapes and clear differentiation at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium text where a bold typographic voice is needed. The dense color and sturdy serifs make it a strong choice for editorial design, book covers, packaging, and branding systems that want a traditional, trustworthy feel.
The tone is confident and traditional, with an editorial, print-forward presence. Its thick serifs and sturdy proportions suggest reliability and authority, evoking classic newspaper and book typography rather than sleek modern minimalism.
Likely designed to deliver a classic slab-serif voice with strong impact and high legibility, balancing assertive serifs and controlled contrast for dependable performance in display and editorial settings.
Distinctive details include the slabby terminals, the strong baseline emphasis, and ball-like or rounded terminal moments in select lowercase forms that add warmth. The texture remains consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing an even, emphatic typographic color.
