A robust slab-serif with squared, blocky serifs and mostly flat-ended terminals that create a firm, anchored texture. Strokes are broadly even, with gentle bracketing into the slabs and rounded joins that keep the letterforms from feeling harsh. Counters are open and generous, and the overall rhythm is steady and readable, with a slightly varied, lively feel across glyph widths. Details like the two-storey lowercase a and g, a crisp crossbar on A, and compact, strong numerals reinforce a classic, text-oriented construction.
Well-suited to book typography, magazines, and long-form editorial settings where a strong serif presence is desirable. It also scales effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and poster-style copy, delivering a confident, traditional look for branding and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, print-classic character.
The font conveys a dependable, editorial tone—serious without being austere. Its heavy serifs and stable proportions suggest authority and tradition, while the rounded shaping and open counters keep it approachable and comfortable for extended reading.
The design appears intended to provide a durable, highly legible slab-serif voice with a classic, publication-ready feel. It balances assertive serifs and sturdy construction with softened curves to keep text clear and inviting across display and reading contexts.
In the sample text, the face maintains clear word shapes and consistent color at larger paragraph sizes, with sturdy serifs that remain distinct without cluttering counters. Numerals appear solid and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ pragmatic, print-friendly voice.
