This typeface is a serif with sturdy, squared-off slab-like serifs and clear stroke contrast between thick verticals and finer horizontals. Letterforms are generously proportioned with open counters and a steady rhythm, giving the design a grounded, stable texture in text. Serifs read as mostly flat and blocky with subtle bracketing in places, and terminals are clean and decisive. The lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g” and a fairly straightforward, workmanlike construction, while figures are lining and sit solidly on the baseline.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired with extra firmness from slab-like serifs. It can also work effectively for headings, pull quotes, and institutional branding that benefits from a confident, established tone.
Overall it conveys a classic, editorial tone—confident and slightly old-style in flavor, but with enough slab structure to feel sturdy and institutional. The wide set and prominent serifs make it feel formal and dependable rather than delicate or playful.
The design appears intended to blend classical serif readability with more robust, squared serifs to increase presence and durability in print-like compositions. Its proportions and structured detailing suggest a focus on clear, no-nonsense typography for extended reading and formal communication.
In the sample text, the strong vertical emphasis and squared serifs create a dark, even typographic color that holds together well across long lines. Capitals have a stately presence, and the numerals are clear and utilitarian for settings where legibility matters.
