A sturdy slab-serif with prominent, bracketed serifs and a clear, print-oriented construction. Strokes are generally solid and even, with subtle modulation and crisp terminals that keep the silhouettes firm rather than calligraphic. Proportions feel balanced and slightly compact, with strong verticals, open counters, and a consistent rhythm in text. The lowercase shows straightforward forms (notably a two-storey “a”), while the figures are robust and highly legible, matching the weight and serif treatment of the letters.
Well-suited to editorial design, book or long-form text, and other reading-heavy layouts where a strong serif voice is desired. Its solid slabs also work effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and branding applications that need a traditional yet assertive typographic anchor.
The overall tone is classic and confident, evoking editorial and academic typography. It reads as dependable and serious, with a quiet sturdiness that suggests established print conventions rather than novelty.
Likely designed to deliver a dependable slab-serif for text and display, combining classic letterforms with sturdy serifs for emphasis and durability. The intention appears focused on readability and a strong, authoritative typographic color across a range of sizes.
The design’s pronounced slabs and controlled contrast give it good presence at larger sizes while maintaining clarity in paragraph settings. The rounded characters (like O and Q) stay smooth and stable, and the serifs provide a strong horizontal baseline that supports dense text.
