A sturdy slab-serif with clearly bracketed serifs and a firm, print-oriented texture. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with strong verticals and lighter connecting strokes, while terminals stay squared and decisive. Proportions are generous and open, with broad capitals and a normal, readable lowercase that maintains clear counters and distinct letterforms. The overall rhythm is even and stable, producing a solid text color that holds up well at larger sizes.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine layouts, book interiors, and pull quotes where a sturdy serif presence is desired. It also works effectively for headlines and branding that need a traditional, dependable tone with clear readability.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—confident and established rather than playful. Its slab-serifs and controlled contrast suggest seriousness and reliability, giving copy an authoritative, bookish voice.
The design appears intended to blend classic serif readability with the firm, emphatic presence of slab serifs. It aims to deliver a stable, authoritative page texture that feels familiar in publishing contexts while remaining crisp and impactful in display settings.
Lowercase forms lean toward traditional construction with a two-storey “a” and single-storey “g,” and the numerals are straightforward and legible with strong vertical emphasis. The design’s slab details remain prominent in both uppercase and lowercase, contributing to a consistent, structured feel across the set.
