This typeface is a sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions and a generous set width that gives lines a steady, open rhythm. Serifs are bold and mostly square-ended with minimal bracketing, producing firm terminals and a crisp, constructed silhouette. Stroke contrast is moderate: verticals hold strong while curves taper subtly, keeping letterforms readable without feeling delicate. Counters are roomy, round letters stay full and stable, and the overall texture reads even and authoritative across both caps and lowercase.
It suits editorial design and book typography where a strong, steady texture is desirable, and it scales well into headlines thanks to its bold serifs and wide forms. The robust detailing and clear terminals also make it a good candidate for branding and signage that needs a reliable, classic voice, and for figure-heavy content where numerals should feel integrated with the text.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, combining a classic, bookish seriousness with a bold, workmanlike solidity. Its squared serifs and wide stance convey reliability and a slightly institutional feel, suitable for communication that aims to be clear, credible, and direct rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice that balances traditional readability with a more assertive, contemporary solidity. Its wide set and square-ended serifs suggest an emphasis on presence and clarity, aiming for consistent paragraph color while retaining enough character for display use.
Capitals feel prominent and stately, with clear horizontal stress in letters like E and F and a grounded, symmetric presence in O and H. Lowercase maintains straightforward construction with strong stems and simple joins, creating consistent color in paragraphs. Numerals appear sturdy and traditional in proportion, matching the letterforms’ weight distribution and giving figures a stable, legible presence.
