A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions and clearly bracketed, rectangular serifs. Strokes show noticeable contrast for a slab design, with rounded joins and subtly softened terminals that keep the texture even in text. Counters are open and generous, while curves (notably in C, G, O, and Q) are smooth and weighty, producing a calm, steady rhythm. The lowercase maintains readable, workmanlike forms with a two-storey a and g and compact, supportive serifs on stems, giving paragraphs a solid, grounded color.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a firm, traditional voice is needed—magazine features, book interiors, and section heads. The wide stance and strong serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or labeling that benefits from a dependable, heritage-leaning tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with an authoritative, editorial presence. Its robust serifs and measured contrast suggest tradition and reliability rather than minimalism, making it feel formal without becoming sharp or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif presence that reads confidently in both text and display, combining robust serifs with controlled contrast to maintain clarity and a steady page texture.
Spacing appears comfortable and consistent, and the numerals are strong and highly legible with clear differentiation across similar shapes. The letterforms balance rectangular slab structure with slightly rounded detailing, which helps it feel less rigid in continuous reading.
