A robust slab serif with pronounced, mostly bracketed slabs and a solid, ink-friendly build. Strokes show clear contrast, with heavier verticals and comparatively lighter horizontals and joins, producing crisp internal counters. The lowercase has compact, workmanlike forms with sturdy serifs, while the uppercase reads more monumental and slightly wider, giving a subtle shift in rhythm between cases. Numerals are bold and open, with strong foot serifs on figures like 1 and 4 and rounded, weighty bowls on 6–9 that keep texture even in text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where a strong serif structure helps maintain a stable text color. It also scales effectively for headlines and display use, delivering a bold, trustworthy presence for posters, packaging, and heritage-leaning brand systems.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, evoking book typography and institutional printing. Its weight distribution and emphatic serifs add authority and a slightly vintage, press-like seriousness without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to combine classic slab-serif authority with enough contrast and refinement to work in both continuous text and display contexts. It prioritizes sturdy construction, legibility, and a traditional printed voice.
In paragraph settings the face creates a dark, steady color with clear word shapes and firm baselines. The serifs and bracketing help guide the eye across lines, while the contrasted structure keeps large sizes sharp and graphic.
