A sturdy slab-serif with strong, blocky serifs and mostly flat terminals that give the outlines a crisp, engineered feel. Strokes are fairly even with moderate contrast, and the forms lean on broad curves and firm horizontals for a stable rhythm. Counters are open and generously sized, while joins and corners stay clean rather than calligraphic. Overall proportions feel traditional and balanced, supporting consistent word shapes in running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, reports, and editorial layouts where a firm serif structure can improve continuity and presence. It also performs well for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes when you want a classic slab-serif voice that remains clear and controlled.
The tone reads authoritative and dependable, with an editorial, bookish character that feels at home in established institutions. Its bold slabs add a confident, slightly vintage presence without becoming decorative or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional slab-serif reading experience with extra structural strength and clarity. It balances robustness and legibility to create a dependable workhorse face for editorial and institutional typography.
The numerals and capitals appear built to hold their shape at a range of sizes, with clear silhouettes and strong baseline presence. The overall spacing and texture look steady and even in the sample paragraph, producing a solid typographic color.
