A sturdy slab-serif with generous proportions and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes are fairly even with moderate contrast, and the serifs read as bold, mostly squared slabs with subtle bracketing that softens joins. Uppercase forms are wide and stable, with open counters and clear, traditional construction; the lowercase keeps a conventional book-face feel with a two-storey “a” and “g” and a compact, readable texture in paragraph setting. Numerals appear oldstyle (text figures) with varied heights and a slightly traditional, printed-page cadence.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazines, reports, and book interiors where a sturdy slab-serif voice is desired. It also performs nicely for headlines, pull quotes, and branding systems that want a dependable, traditional tone with a bit of architectural heft.
The overall tone is confident and bookish, suggesting editorial seriousness and institutional credibility. Its slab structure adds a practical, workmanlike character while the gentle bracketing and moderate contrast keep it approachable rather than mechanical.
The design appears aimed at a readable, print-rooted slab serif that balances firmness with classical proportions. It prioritizes clarity and durability in both display and text contexts, delivering a conventional, dependable reading experience with distinctive slab serif character.
In text, the face maintains strong baseline presence and consistent color, with distinctive serifed ends that help letter separation at larger sizes. The wide caps and robust serifs lend emphasis in headings without needing extreme weight.
