A robust slab-serif with broad, squared serifs softened by subtle bracketing. Strokes are largely even, with only mild modulation, producing a solid, steady texture in paragraphs. Proportions lean slightly condensed in the capitals while the lowercase maintains a comfortable x-height and clear counters, giving the face a compact but readable rhythm. Terminals are clean and flat, joins are firm, and curves are smooth rather than mechanical, balancing squareness with traditional serif construction.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a firm, traditional voice is needed, including book and magazine text, pull quotes, and section heads. The sturdy serifs and even color also make it effective for branding, packaging copy, and short headlines that benefit from a grounded, confident texture.
The overall tone feels dependable and editorial, with a bookish seriousness that reads as established and authoritative. Its sturdy slabs add a pragmatic, workmanlike confidence, while the moderate proportions keep it from feeling overly loud or decorative.
This design appears intended to deliver a durable slab-serif voice that stays readable in continuous text while retaining enough heft and structure for display use. It prioritizes consistency, clarity, and a classic editorial presence over ornate detailing.
In text, the face builds a dark, even color with strong verticals and clear word shapes. The numerals match the letterforms in weight and presence, supporting consistent emphasis in data or running text.
