A robust slab serif with bracketed, blocky terminals and a steady, print-oriented rhythm. Strokes show noticeable contrast without feeling delicate, with strong vertical stems and compact, squared serifs that read cleanly at display sizes. Counters are fairly open and the curves are slightly squarish in places, giving letters a carved, structured feel. The lowercase is upright and workmanlike, while capitals are broad and stable, with a consistent, slightly condensed texture in running text.
This face works well for headlines and subheads where you want a strong, trustworthy voice, and it also suits editorial typography such as magazines, book covers, and section openers. Its sturdy serifs and clear silhouettes make it effective for posters and brand identities that benefit from a traditional, authoritative tone.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that suggests institutions, publishing, and long-form reading. It feels sturdy and pragmatic rather than fashionable, balancing warmth from the bracketed serifs with a firm, no-nonsense presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice with enough contrast to stay lively while keeping a solid, readable structure. It prioritizes clear, emphatic letterforms and consistent serif weight to create a confident texture in both display lines and longer settings.
The numerals are bold and straightforward, matching the slabbed, grounded construction of the letters. Across both grid and paragraph samples, the family maintains consistent serif mass and terminal treatment, producing a cohesive, slightly “printed” texture suited to dense settings.
