A robust slab-serif with strong, blocky serifs and a compact, even rhythm. Strokes are weighty with moderate contrast, and joins and curves are smoothly controlled rather than sharply geometric. The serifs read as substantial and slightly bracketed, helping round forms transition cleanly into terminals. Letterforms are generously proportioned with broad bowls and steady vertical stress, producing dark, confident text color in both caps and lowercase.
Well suited for headlines, pull quotes, and impactful subheads where a dense, sturdy serif voice is needed. It also works for editorial branding, book or magazine titling, and packaging that benefits from a dependable, heritage-leaning tone. For longer text, it will be most comfortable at sizes and spacing that allow its heavy color to breathe.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial—authoritative, grounded, and slightly old-style in its warmth despite the heavy slabs. It projects trust and seriousness, with a familiar book-and-newspaper presence that still feels sturdy and contemporary in display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong slab-serif voice with classic readability cues—broad proportions, substantial serifs, and controlled contrast—optimized for confident display and editorial applications.
In text settings the font maintains strong presence and high impact, with ample interior space in counters that keeps heavy strokes from clogging too quickly. The numerals are assertive and legible, matching the same slabbed, grounded construction as the letters.
