A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and a confident, even rhythm. Strokes show noticeable but not extreme contrast, with firm verticals and slightly tapered joins that keep heavy shapes from clogging at text sizes. Counters are open and the curves are generously rounded, giving the letters a friendly solidity rather than sharpness. The numerals and capitals read clearly with stable proportions and a consistent, workmanlike texture across lines.
Well suited for editorial typography where a strong serif presence is desirable, including magazine features, book text at comfortable sizes, and chapter titles. It can also carry short headlines and pull quotes where its slabs provide structure and emphasis without resorting to extreme contrast.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with a robust, dependable voice that feels at home in print-centric contexts. It conveys seriousness and clarity without becoming overly formal, balancing a traditional slab presence with a slightly warm, readable color.
Likely designed to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice for reading and display, combining sturdy serifs with controlled contrast to keep paragraphs stable and headlines confident. The shapes prioritize clarity and consistency, aiming for a classic, print-friendly texture with enough weight to command attention.
In the text sample, the bold-ish slabs and bracketing help maintain legibility and line-to-line continuity, producing a dark, steady typographic color. The overall impression is pragmatic and editorial, with details tuned to avoid harshness while preserving impact.
