A robust slab-serif with clearly bracketed, blocky serifs and noticeable stroke contrast. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while joins and terminals stay firm and squared, creating a steady, grounded rhythm. Counters are fairly open for the weight, and the lowercase shows traditional book-ish construction with a two-storey a and g and compact, disciplined spacing. Numerals are heavy and stable, matching the text weight and serif treatment for consistent color in display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and other prominent text where strong presence and classic structure are desired. It also works well for editorial branding, book or magazine titling, packaging, and signage that benefits from a sturdy, traditional slab-serif voice.
The overall tone feels established and dependable, with a classic print sensibility. Its weight and slab structure convey authority and practicality, while the slight softening in curves keeps it approachable rather than harsh. The result reads as editorial and institutional—confident, legible, and a bit traditional.
The design appears aimed at delivering a confident slab-serif for display and strong typographic hierarchy, combining classic letterforms with a weighty, high-impact silhouette and reliable readability.
Uppercase proportions are broad and emphatic, with strong horizontals and serifs that read clearly at a glance. Some terminals and joins show subtle shaping that reduces brittleness in dense settings, helping large text maintain a clean, even texture.
