A sturdy serif design with pronounced slab-like serifs and mostly flat-ended terminals. Strokes are low-contrast with a robust, even color on the page, and the overall proportions feel generously set, with broad capitals and open, rounded counters. Serifs read as slightly bracketed rather than razor-sharp, helping joins look reinforced and durable. The lowercase shows clear, familiar text shapes with a moderate x-height and straightforward, readable forms; curves are smooth and full, while horizontals and feet create a stable baseline rhythm. Numerals match the same solid construction, with clear, uncomplicated silhouettes and firm terminals.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a firm, traditional serif voice is needed, including magazines, newspapers, and book typography at display and subhead sizes. The strong slabs and wide proportions also make it effective for posters, signage, and packaging where sturdy letterforms need to hold their shape and presence.
The tone is pragmatic and dependable, suggesting authority without feeling delicate or flashy. It carries an editorial, bookish seriousness—more “workhorse” than ornamental—while the broad stance and strong serifs add a confident, institutional character.
The design appears intended to deliver a durable slab-serif voice with strong baseline stability and consistent texture, balancing classic readability with a bold, no-nonsense presence for both display and text-forward settings.
The face maintains consistent weight distribution across rounds and straights, producing a steady texture in paragraphs. The pronounced serifs and wide stance make word shapes feel anchored, especially in headlines and short blocks of text.
