A bold, slab-serif design with strong, bracketed slabs and a broad, steady footprint. Strokes show noticeable but controlled contrast, with thick verticals and slightly lighter connecting strokes, while curves are generously rounded and counters remain open for clarity. The letterforms are wide-set and stable, with substantial terminals and a measured, even rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and display sizes where its heavy slabs and confident shapes can set a strong typographic voice. It also performs well in editorial contexts—magazine headings, section openers, and book-cover titling—where a traditional yet forceful serif texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels confident and dependable, combining a traditional, print-oriented presence with a sturdy, pragmatic attitude. Its weighty slabs and calm proportions read as assertive and institutional, suited to messages that want to sound established rather than delicate or whimsical.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif authority with enough contrast and curvature to stay readable and refined, while preserving a sturdy, high-impact silhouette for prominent text.
The font maintains a consistent serif treatment across the set, giving it a cohesive, blocky texture in paragraphs. Numerals appear solid and prominent, matching the headline-forward color of the capitals, while the lowercase keeps legibility through clear shapes and open internal spaces.
