A sturdy slab-serif with clearly bracketed, rectangular serifs and a measured, moderate stroke contrast. Curves are full and well-supported, with round counters and open apertures that keep forms readable in continuous text. The lowercase shows a lively rhythm—single-storey a and g, a compact t with a firm crossbar, and a curved descender on j—while caps remain stately and evenly proportioned. Terminals and joins are crisp, and the overall color on the page is solid without feeling overly dense.
Well suited to editorial layouts, long-form reading, and magazine typography where a firm serif presence is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and branding that needs a traditional, trustworthy voice with strong typographic color.
The tone reads editorial and dependable, evoking print-forward typography and institutional clarity. Its robust serifs and calm proportions lend an authoritative, slightly old-style voice that feels comfortable for serious reading while still energetic enough for display lines.
Likely designed to provide a classic slab-serif voice that holds up in both text and display, combining robust serifs for presence with open, readable inner shapes for comfortable continuous setting.
The numerals are clear and sturdy, with strong verticals and simple, familiar silhouettes suited to mixed text and figures. The design balances sharp slab details with softened brackets, which helps it feel less mechanical and more literary in paragraph settings.
