A contrasted slab serif with sturdy, bracketed slabs and clear thick–thin modulation through curves and joins. The letterforms show a slightly calligraphic rhythm: bowls are generous and rounded while many stems finish in firm, squared serifs, producing a confident, print-oriented texture. Lowercase forms feel traditional and readable, with compact counters and a steady baseline; the numerals are open and straightforward, keeping the same slabbed stance and contrast pattern. Overall spacing reads even, while the strong serifs and contrast create a darker, more emphatic word image than a typical text slab.
It performs best in headlines and short-to-medium runs of text where the strong serifs and contrast can contribute character without overwhelming the page. The robust slabs make it well-suited to editorial layouts, book covers, posters, and packaging, especially when you want a classic voice with clear structure and presence.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone with a touch of vintage authority, like a sturdy book face interpreted with more punch. Its pronounced serifs and contrast give it a confident, slightly dramatic voice that feels established rather than trendy. The texture suggests printed matter—headlines, pull quotes, and display copy where personality and structure should be felt.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with the emphatic structure of slab serifs, using contrast and bracketing to add refinement and rhythm. It prioritizes a recognizable, print-centric personality that stands out in display settings while remaining grounded in familiar, literary proportions.
Curved joins and subtly tapered strokes add movement, preventing the slab construction from feeling purely mechanical. The slab endings are visually prominent, lending strong horizontal accents that help words lock together in larger sizes and create a distinctive typographic color.
