A robust serif with slab-like, bracketed terminals and a strongly grounded stance. Strokes are thick with noticeable, controlled contrast, producing a dark, even typographic color. Counters are generous and shapes are broadly proportioned, with rounded curves on C/G/O and firm, flat-ended horizontals. The lowercase is compact and steady, with sturdy stems and clear joins, and the numerals follow the same weighty, traditional rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and impactful editorial typography where a solid serif voice is needed. It can also work for short passages in print or on the web when a darker text color and sturdy details are desirable, and it’s well matched to branding that wants a traditional, dependable feel.
The tone reads authoritative and dependable, with an old-style editorial familiarity. Its heavy slabs and rounded curves give it a practical, workmanlike warmth rather than a delicate or high-fashion feel, suggesting traditional publishing and institutional clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, classic slab-serif presence with readable, traditional letterforms and a strong baseline. Its balanced contrast and bracketed slabs aim to combine authority with approachable, print-forward familiarity.
At text sizes the font maintains strong presence and crisp word shapes, aided by substantial serifs and open internal spaces. The overall rhythm is calm and consistent, emphasizing stability and legibility over sharp, geometric precision.
