A robust slab-serif with broad proportions, heavy-looking serifs, and largely even stroke weight. Serifs are prominent and mostly squared-off, with subtle bracketing that helps soften joins and improve flow. Counters are open and round, curves are steady and controlled, and the overall rhythm feels measured rather than compressed. The lowercase maintains a traditional book-face structure with clear forms and a moderate, readable x-height, while capitals are strong and stately with ample width and consistent vertical stress.
Well suited to editorial typography where a strong, traditional voice is desired, including magazine layouts, long-form reading, and academic or cultural publishing. It can also serve effectively for headlines and identity work that benefits from a confident slab-serif presence.
The tone is dependable and institutional, evoking printed books, academic settings, and heritage editorial design. Its sturdy slabs and calm modulation project confidence and seriousness without feeling overly ornate.
The design appears intended to combine classic, print-oriented readability with the visual authority of pronounced slab serifs, delivering a steady texture across paragraphs while remaining distinctive in display sizes.
The numerals read clearly at text sizes, and the punctuation and ampersand match the same firm, squared construction. Overall spacing appears comfortable, supporting continuous reading and keeping dense paragraphs from feeling cramped.
