A sturdy slab-serif design with broad, flat serifs and gently bracketed joins that soften the otherwise squared-off construction. Strokes are fairly even with minimal contrast, giving the letterforms a solid, steady rhythm across text. The uppercase feels stately and slightly condensed in presence, while the lowercase keeps a traditional book-face structure with clear counters and a straightforward, upright stance. Details like the single-storey “g” with a prominent ear, the footed “1,” and the angular “W” contribute to a distinctly structured, print-oriented texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a confident slab-serif color is desired, including magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading at comfortable sizes. It can also anchor display work—headlines, posters, and packaging—where its firm serifs and even rhythm convey stability and tradition.
The overall tone is established and practical, leaning toward an editorial and scholarly voice rather than playful or decorative. Its slab-serifs add authority and a hint of vintage print flavor, while the even stroke weight keeps it approachable and workmanlike.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif reading experience with a strong typographic footprint, balancing robust serifs and low-contrast strokes for clarity in both text and display settings.
Serifs are consistently heavy and horizontal, creating strong baselines and a pronounced cadence in running text. Curves are rounded but controlled, and terminals often end in flat cuts, producing a crisp, composed texture at larger sizes.
