A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, square-cut serifs and a clear, traditional skeleton. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with thicker verticals and lighter horizontals, while terminals and serifs keep a flat, block-like finish. Proportions are moderately compact with open apertures and generous counters, giving the lowercase a readable, text-forward rhythm. The capitals are broad and weighty, and the numerals are solid and straightforward, with strong baseline presence and crisp joins.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, newspapers, and book work where a sturdy serif texture is desired. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or identity applications that benefit from a classic, trustworthy voice with firm slab-serif emphasis.
The overall tone is confident and institutional, with an old-style, editorial feel that reads as dependable rather than decorative. Its bold, squared serifs add a hint of vintage print character while keeping the voice practical and legible.
The font appears designed to deliver a robust reading texture with classic slab-serif authority, pairing strong serifs and clear letterforms for reliable performance across text and display sizes.
The design balances squareness in the serifs with rounded interior forms, which helps soften the heaviness and improves clarity in dense settings. Spacing appears even in the sample text, supporting long-form reading while still carrying enough presence for headings.
