A robust slab serif with generous proportions and a steady, print-oriented rhythm. Serifs are broad and confidently squared, with subtle bracketing that softens joins and keeps the texture even in paragraph settings. Strokes show noticeable contrast for a slab style—verticals read firm while horizontals and connecting strokes are lighter—helping counters stay open and forms stay crisp. Capitals feel stately and slightly extended, while lowercase shapes are straightforward and legible with compact joins and clear differentiation in forms like a, g, and e; numerals match the same sturdy, bookish tone.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a strong serif presence and stable texture are desired. It also works effectively for section heads, pull quotes, and brand systems that need a traditional, dependable slab serif voice.
The overall tone is editorial and authoritative, evoking reference books, traditional publishing, and institutional communications. Its sturdy serifs and balanced contrast give it a composed, trustworthy voice that feels more classic than trendy.
The design appears intended to modernize a classic slab-serif feel—solid and readable—while keeping enough contrast and refinement to perform in both display and text contexts.
The sample text shows a dark, confident text color with clean interior spaces, suggesting it can hold up well in longer passages while still making strong headlines. The letterforms lean toward clarity over ornament, with terminals and serifs doing most of the stylistic work.
