A sturdy slab-serif with thick, bracketed serifs and a generally blocky, high-ink texture. Strokes show noticeable but controlled modulation, with rounded joins and softened corners that keep the forms from feeling mechanical. Counters are moderately open and the curves (O, C, S) are smooth and generously rounded, while verticals and slabs anchor the rhythm. The lowercase is compact and workmanlike, with a two-storey “g,” a large, round “i” dot, and a “t” whose crossbar reads clearly at text sizes; figures are heavy and straightforward with strong baseline presence.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where a firm, classic voice is needed, and it also holds together in short blocks of text thanks to its steady rhythm and clear serifing. It’s a natural fit for editorial design, book covers, branding systems, packaging, and signage that benefit from a robust slab-serif character.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, projecting an editorial, institutional voice rather than a decorative one. Its weight and slab structure convey stability and authority, with a slightly traditional, print-oriented warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional slab-serif presence with strong legibility and a confident, print-forward texture. It balances weighty, bracketed serifs and controlled contrast to remain readable while still feeling assertive and editorial.
In the sample text, the font maintains an even, dark color and consistent spacing, producing a solid paragraph texture. Capitals feel emphatic and sign-like, while the lowercase remains legible and steady, suggesting a design tuned for strong presence in both headlines and dense copy.
