A sturdy slab-serif with clear, blocky serifs and mostly uniform stroke presence that reads solid rather than delicate. The letterforms are upright with compact curves, crisp joins, and a slightly mechanical rhythm, while subtle rounding and mild bracketing keep corners from feeling overly rigid. Uppercase shapes are broad and stable, and lowercase forms maintain a straightforward construction with strong verticals and clear counters. Figures are proportionate and legible, with traditional serif influence and consistent, square-ended detailing across the set.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book or journal text, and publication layouts where a strong serif voice improves navigation and hierarchy. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and report or institutional materials that benefit from a dependable, authoritative tone. The robust shapes make it a solid choice for logos and brand systems needing a traditional yet clean slab-serif presence.
The font conveys an editorial, bookish tone—confident and conventional, with a measured seriousness suited to formal communication. Its slab detailing adds a hint of institutional gravitas, while the clean, restrained construction keeps it practical and contemporary enough for everyday reading.
Designed to provide a clear, dependable slab-serif for reading and display, balancing sturdy structure with enough refinement to stay comfortable in continuous text. The consistent serif treatment and controlled proportions suggest an aim for versatility across editorial hierarchy, from body copy to prominent headings.
The overall texture in paragraph settings is even and firm, producing a dark-but-controlled color that supports long-form reading. Terminals and serifs create a consistent horizontal emphasis, helping words feel anchored on the line without becoming decorative.
