A sturdy slab-serif with generous proportions and clear, well-defined serifs that read as bold horizontal slabs, often lightly bracketed into the stems. Strokes show noticeable modulation: rounded bowls and curves thin slightly through transitions while verticals and key joins stay firm, giving the face a composed, editorial rhythm rather than a purely monoline feel. Counters are open and circular, with a slightly soft, ink-friendly finish at some terminals and joins, which helps keep forms from feeling overly rigid. Numerals and capitals maintain strong presence with stable baselines and consistent spacing, while lowercase retains an even, readable texture in text.
Well suited to editorial layouts, long-form reading, and magazine typography where a stable serif texture and confident emphasis are needed. The strong slabs also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and posters that benefit from a solid, traditional voice while remaining highly legible.
The tone is classic and authoritative with a practical, workmanlike edge. It feels familiar in a print-oriented way—serious and dependable—yet the softened joins and sturdy slabs add warmth and approachability. Overall it conveys credibility and tradition without becoming delicate or ornate.
Likely intended as a versatile slab-serif for text and display that prioritizes readability and a dependable, print-forward character. The combination of sturdy serifs, controlled contrast, and slightly softened details suggests a goal of maintaining authority while staying friendly and durable on the page.
The design balances strong slab serifs with rounded interior shapes, creating a comfortable reading color in paragraphs while still producing punchy headings. The boldness of the serifs and the steady vertical stress make it hold up well in mixed-case settings and in numerals.
