A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed, block-like serifs and a compact, deliberate rhythm. Strokes show clear but controlled contrast, with thick verticals and slightly tapered joins that keep counters open at display sizes. The design favors broad proportions and strong horizontals; terminals are squared and decisive, and curves are full with a slightly flattened, print-like finish. Lowercase forms read traditional and structured, with a single-storey “g” and a prominent ear, while figures are weighty and highly legible with rounded bowls and stable bases.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and display typography where a bold, classic slab voice is needed. It also fits packaging, labels, and book-cover titling that benefit from a traditional, high-impact serif with dependable readability.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, with a bold, no-nonsense presence that feels at home in heritage, collegiate, and editorial settings. Its heavy serifs and confident silhouettes give it a reassuring, established character rather than a delicate or minimalist one.
Likely designed to deliver a classic slab-serif look with strong presence and clear letterforms, balancing traditional proportions with enough contrast and shaping to stay crisp in print-like applications and bold editorial layouts.
In text, the dense color and pronounced serifs create a strong typographic texture, favoring headlines, pull quotes, and short paragraphs where impact matters. The numerals and capitals appear especially suited to emphatic settings due to their breadth and firm, squared detailing.
