A sturdy slab-serif with blocky, bracketed serifs and largely monolinear strokes. Proportions feel traditional and well balanced, with moderate apertures and open counters that keep text shapes clear. Curves are smooth and generously rounded, while joins and terminals stay crisp and squared-off, giving the design a firm, grounded presence. The lowercase shows conventional, readable forms with a straightforward rhythm and even color across lines of text.
Well suited to editorial design where a strong serif voice is needed, including magazines, newspapers, and book layouts. It can also serve for headlines and subheads that want firmness and tradition without high-contrast delicacy, and for branding or institutional materials that benefit from a reliable, established tone.
The overall tone is dependable and slightly old-school, with an editorial seriousness that reads as confident and established. It suggests the voice of print—measured, reputable, and practical—rather than overtly decorative or quirky.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif reading experience with sturdy construction and consistent texture, prioritizing clarity and authority in both continuous text and prominent display settings.
In the sample text, the font maintains a consistent texture at display and text-like sizes, with clear differentiation between similar characters and stable spacing that supports long passages. Numerals and capitals carry the same robust, slab-serif character, reinforcing a cohesive, no-nonsense personality.
