A sturdy serif with prominent slab-like serifs and mostly low-contrast strokes, giving the letters a firm, planted feel. Serifs are broad and squared-off with slight bracketing that softens joins without losing weight. Uppercase proportions read compact and structured, while the lowercase shows a clear two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a relatively upright, no-nonsense rhythm. Counters are moderately open and the overall color on the page is dense and even, with crisp terminals and stable verticals that hold up in text and display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book typography, and magazine layouts where a strong serif presence is desired. It also works for posters and branding that need a dependable, traditional tone with bold-ish slab support without becoming overly decorative.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, with a classic, editorial seriousness. It suggests reliability and tradition more than delicacy, projecting a grounded, institutional voice that feels at home in print-forward contexts.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, readable serif with emphatic slabs that reinforce structure and impact. It balances traditional serif cues with a simplified, squared terminal language to maintain clarity and consistency across text and display use.
Figures appear sturdy and straightforward, matching the text weight and serif treatment for consistent texture in running copy. The sample text shows strong word shapes and a steady baseline, with the heavy serifs reinforcing a clear horizontal flow and helping maintain legibility at larger paragraph settings.
