A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and a gently modulated stroke weight. The letterforms show confident vertical stress, rounded joins, and slightly softened corners that keep the heavy slabs from feeling rigid. Proportions are fairly traditional with moderate ascenders/descenders and a readable lowercase; bowls are full and counters stay open at text sizes. Overall spacing and rhythm feel steady, with a subtle “printed” character created by small flare and notch-like transitions where stems meet serifs.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial typography where a firm, legible serif is desired, and it also scales effectively for headlines and subheads that need presence. Its robust slabs make it a strong option for brand identities and packaging that aim for heritage, trust, or academic credibility.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—serious, composed, and reliable. Its strong slabs and measured contrast suggest authority and tradition, while the softened details prevent it from feeling overly formal or cold.
The design appears intended to blend traditional slab-serif authority with comfortable readability, delivering a dependable text-and-display workhorse that feels at home in print-forward contexts.
Figures and capitals carry a dignified, poster-friendly weight without becoming blocky, and the lowercase maintains clarity in continuous text. The serif shapes are consistent across the set, giving headings a firm baseline and paragraphs a stable, even texture.
