A sharply drawn slab serif with pronounced stroke modulation and sturdy, rectangular serifs that read as bold blocks at text sizes. Stems are firm and upright, while curves show clear thick–thin transitions, giving the face a crisp, engraved rhythm rather than a monoline feel. The lowercase mixes compact bowls with distinctive ball terminals (notably in "a" and "c"), and several letters feature strong horizontal feet and squared terminals that reinforce a grounded baseline. Numerals are clear and traditional in construction, pairing well with the assertive serif forms.
This font works especially well for editorial headlines, book-cover titling, and pull quotes where a solid, classic slab-serif voice is desired. Its strong serifs and contrast also make it suitable for packaging or branding applications that need a sturdy, trustworthy tone with a touch of traditional character.
The overall tone is confident and literary, balancing old-style warmth with a slightly assertive, editorial presence. Its strong serifs and visible contrast give it an authoritative voice suited to headings and pull-quote moments without feeling overly decorative.
The design appears intended to combine a robust slab-serif structure with noticeable contrast for a more refined, print-centric texture. It aims to deliver readability and authority while keeping enough personality in the lowercase details to remain distinctive in display use.
The sample text shows a lively texture: dark verticals anchor the line while the heavy slabs create a pronounced horizontal cadence. Spacing appears straightforward and even, producing a dense, print-forward color that favors clarity and impact over delicacy.
