A sturdy slab serif with broad, blocky serifs and mostly flat-ended terminals. Strokes show noticeable contrast between thick verticals and finer joins, producing a crisp, slightly engraved texture rather than a purely geometric feel. Curves are generous and rounded (notably in O/C/G), while counters remain open and well-defined; serifs are firmly planted and often subtly bracketed into the stems. Overall spacing and proportions read as balanced and text-forward, with clear, conventional letter shapes and a steady rhythm across upper- and lowercase.
It performs well in editorial typography, book and magazine layouts, and other reading-centric applications where a firm, classic texture is desired. The sturdy serifs and strong letterforms also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or labels that benefit from a reliable, established look.
The tone is confident and traditional, blending an editorial gravitas with a practical, workmanlike clarity. It evokes classic print settings—solid, trustworthy, and slightly old-style in spirit—without feeling overly decorative. The result is a composed, authoritative voice suited to long-form reading and institutional contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice for text and display, prioritizing legibility and a stable typographic color. Its combination of robust serifs, clear structures, and measured contrast suggests a pragmatic typeface meant to feel established and authoritative across common print and brand uses.
The lowercase shows a distinctly serifed, text-centric construction with robust stems and compact details that create a dark, even color in paragraphs. Figures appear designed to harmonize with the capitals, with clear shapes and strong presence for running text or headings.
