A robust slab serif with clearly bracketed, rectangular serifs and firm, vertical stress. Strokes show moderate contrast, with thick stems and slightly lighter curves that keep counters open and legible. The proportions read on the wider side with generous set-widths, while maintaining a compact, workmanlike x-height and consistent cap presence. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared, giving the letterforms a crisp, printed feel, and the overall rhythm is even and steady across text.
Well-suited to editorial design and book typography where a strong, classic slab presence is desired, and it also performs convincingly in headlines and pull quotes. The sturdy structure and open shapes make it a solid choice for branding applications that want a dependable, traditional voice, as well as posters and announcements that benefit from bold, readable forms.
The tone is confident and traditional, evoking editorial and institutional typography. Its weighty slabs and measured contrast project stability and seriousness, with a subtle vintage, print-era character rather than a sleek modern voice.
The design appears intended as a readable, print-forward slab serif that balances authority with practicality. It emphasizes sturdy construction, clear counters, and consistent serif treatment to deliver a dependable texture in both display and longer text.
At display sizes the slab details and bracketing become a defining feature, while in paragraph settings the wide stance and open counters help maintain clarity. Numerals appear sturdy and straightforward, matching the same square-shouldered, no-nonsense construction as the letters.
