A sturdy serif design with prominent slab-like serifs, mostly squared endings, and subtly bracketed joins that soften the corners. Strokes are fairly even with moderate contrast, producing a solid, print-friendly color. Proportions feel generous and slightly extended, with open counters and clear internal spaces that keep the shapes readable. The lowercase shows a conventional structure with a two-storey “a” and “g,” compact joins, and a steady rhythm, while the capitals carry strong, squared serifs and stable vertical stress.
Well-suited for editorial typography where a strong serif texture is desirable, including magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes. The sturdy slabs and open forms also support confident headlines, posters, and branding systems that need a grounded, classic tone without becoming overly delicate.
The overall tone is dependable and editorial, combining a traditional bookish voice with a confident, slightly assertive presence. It reads as serious and institutional rather than playful, suggesting authority and clarity in longer passages.
Likely drawn to deliver a robust slab-serif voice that remains comfortable in continuous reading while projecting authority in display sizes. The design balances firm, square-ended serifs with controlled curvature to keep the texture even and the letterforms familiar.
The numerals and capitals share the same stout serif treatment, giving headings and mixed-case text a cohesive, anchored feel. Round letters maintain smooth curves against the firm slab terminals, creating a balanced interplay of soft bowls and crisp finishing details.
