A sturdy slab serif with pronounced, blocky serifs and clear vertical stress. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with strong main stems and finer connecting strokes, creating a confident rhythm in both display and text sizes. Serifs are mostly flat and wide, often slightly bracketed into the stems, and terminals tend toward squared-off cuts; select forms introduce small teardrop/ball-like terminals (notably in the lowercase). Proportions are balanced and traditional, with compact counters and crisp joins that keep the texture dense and steady in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a strong serif presence is desirable—book pages, long-form articles, and magazine layouts—while also holding up for headlines, pull quotes, and section titles. The sturdy slabs and dense color make it a good candidate for packaging or labels that need a classic, trustworthy voice.
The overall tone feels traditional and dependable, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and credible. Its bold serifs and firm structure add a slightly vintage, print-forward character while remaining straightforward and legible.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif voice with strong typographic color and reliable readability, combining firm, squared serifs with enough contrast and detail to feel refined in continuous text.
Uppercase forms are stable and fairly formal, while the lowercase adds warmth through rounded bowls and occasional ball terminals, giving the face a subtle human touch. Numerals are solid and weighty, matching the letterforms’ strong baseline presence and making them suitable for running figures in text-heavy layouts.
