A robust slab-serif with broad proportions, strong vertical stress, and gently bracketed slabs that read as substantial rather than sharp. Strokes show clear but not extreme contrast, with rounded transitions and softened corners that keep the heavy weight from feeling brittle. Counters are generous and mostly open, while terminals often finish with small curves or ball-like details, giving the texture a slightly warm, bookish rhythm. The lowercase has a traditional, sturdy build and the numerals are thick and compact, designed for solid presence in text and display sizes alike.
This font suits attention-forward headlines and subheads where a sturdy, traditional slab-serif voice is desired. It also works well for book and magazine applications—cover typography, section openers, pull quotes, and nameplates—where its dense, confident texture can carry across varied sizes.
The overall tone is confident and dependable, with an old-style, editorial warmth. Its heavy slabs and softened detailing suggest tradition and authority, but the rounded joins and friendly curves keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif presence with modern smoothness: heavy, stable forms for impact, paired with softened brackets and terminals to maintain readability and a welcoming tone.
In continuous text the face creates a dense, even color with pronounced word shapes and strong horizontal emphasis from the slabs. The capitals feel particularly monumental, while the lowercase maintains a readable, conventional structure that supports longer passages.
