A sturdy slab-serif with strongly bracketed, rectangular serifs and a firm vertical stress. Strokes show moderate contrast with thickened joins and softened corners that create a slightly inked, print-like texture. Proportions are generously set with ample internal space in bowls and counters, while round letters stay fairly broad and stable. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel with curved entry/exit strokes and a mix of straight and rounded forms, maintaining the same robust serif treatment as the letters.
Well-suited to body text and editorial typography where a darker, more anchored page color is desirable. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or identity work that benefits from a solid, print-rooted slab-serif presence.
The overall tone is practical and traditional, with a warm, slightly vintage printing character. Its weighty serifs and softened detailing lend authority without feeling overly formal, making it read as dependable and approachable in longer passages.
The design appears intended as a dependable slab-serif for general-purpose reading and display, balancing strong serifs and moderate contrast with softened details to maintain comfort and consistency across paragraphs and prominent typographic moments.
Details like the ear on the lowercase g, the curved tail on Q, and the subtly calligraphic hooks on characters such as f, j, and y add a gentle humanist note while keeping the design disciplined. The ampersand is compact and sturdy, matching the font’s utilitarian rhythm.
