This typeface is a robust slab-serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and a steady, vertical build. Strokes are generally thick with modest modulation, producing strong color on the page without feeling overly compressed. Counters are fairly open for the weight, and terminals tend to finish with squared, slab-like forms. The lowercase shows a traditional, readable construction with a two-storey “a” and “g,” while the caps keep classical proportions and clear joins, giving an overall composed, print-oriented rhythm.
It suits editorial layouts where a strong serif voice is needed—headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and magazine typography. With its sturdy slabs and readable lowercase, it can also work for short-to-medium body text in print-like settings, especially where a confident, classic tone is desired.
The overall tone feels dependable and traditional, with a bookish, institutional character. Its heavy slabs and disciplined structure suggest seriousness and authority, while the moderate contrast and open shapes keep it approachable in longer passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a confident slab-serif presence that balances traditional letter construction with emphatic, supportive serifs. It prioritizes clarity and impact, aiming for a dependable typographic voice that holds up in both display and text-forward compositions.
Numerals appear sturdy and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ slabbed finishing and consistent weight. The design reads cleanly in both isolated glyphs and dense text blocks, emphasizing a firm baseline and stable spacing.
