A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed serifs and gently rounded joins that soften the overall texture. Strokes are solid and even, with clear, open counters and a calm, readable rhythm across lines. The capitals feel broad and stable, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike construction with minimal flourish. Numerals follow the same utilitarian logic, with consistent weight and simple, legible shapes.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a firm, classic voice is desired, including magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes. Its strong serifs and steady texture also work well for packaging and branding that needs a trustworthy, traditional feel, as well as posters and signage where letterforms must stay clear at size.
The overall tone is dependable and approachable, combining an old-style, print-forward warmth with a pragmatic, no-nonsense presence. It reads as confident and grounded rather than delicate, lending a subtly vintage, editorial flavor without becoming ornate.
Designed to be a reliable slab-serif workhorse that balances strong structure with approachable warmth. The emphasis appears to be on legibility and consistent texture, providing a versatile foundation for both display and extended reading.
Serifs are prominent and supportive, helping the letters sit firmly on the baseline and giving headlines a strong silhouette. The family’s shapes favor clarity over personality-driven quirks, producing an even color that holds up well in paragraph settings.
