A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions and a steady, even rhythm. Strokes show clear contrast, with robust, squared serifs that read as lightly bracketed rather than sharply cut. Curves are generous and smooth, counters are open, and terminals finish cleanly, giving the forms a crisp, print-oriented look. Uppercase letters feel stable and stately, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation and comfortable spacing for text settings.
Well-suited to editorial design where a dependable serif voice is needed, including magazines, book typography, and long-form reading. The wide proportions and strong serifs also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and brand systems that want a classic, established feel.
The overall tone is authoritative and composed, with an editorial, bookish character. Its wide stance and confident slabs suggest tradition and reliability while still feeling approachable in longer passages.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional slab-serif presence that remains readable in paragraph text while scaling confidently into display sizes. The emphasis appears to be on clarity, stability, and a distinctly serifed silhouette with a modern, clean finish.
The numerals share the same sturdy construction, with ample interior space that supports quick recognition. In the sample text, the font keeps a consistent color and legibility, producing a solid, grounded texture without looking overly heavy.
