A robust slab-serif with broad, square-ended serifs and mostly even, confident stroke weight. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while joins and terminals stay crisp and blunt, giving the design a solid, architectural feel. Uppercase forms are stately and fairly wide, with open counters and clear differentiation across letters. The lowercase is readable and traditional, with a two-storey “a” and “g,” compact shoulders, and straightforward construction that keeps text color consistent. Numerals are clear and text-friendly, with simple shapes and firm slab terminals that align visually with the alphabet.
Well suited for long-form reading in magazines, books, and reports where a firm serif presence is desirable. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and section titles that need a stable, traditional voice, and for branding systems that benefit from a dependable, slightly rugged slab-serif character.
The overall tone is dependable and formal, suggesting bookish seriousness and an editorial voice. Its strong slabs and measured proportions convey stability and authority without feeling overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver strong readability with a confident slab-serif footprint, combining traditional letter construction with square, emphatic terminals for a grounded typographic color.
In text, the face maintains a steady rhythm with pronounced serifs that help lock letters onto the baseline. The design balances blunt, square details with smooth curves, producing a crisp, print-oriented texture that remains legible at typical reading sizes.
