A sturdy slab-serif with broad, confident proportions and a steady, even color on the page. Serifs are thick and mostly square-ended with subtle bracketing that softens joins without losing a firm, blocky presence. Strokes stay fairly even, with clear vertical stress and crisp, straight terminals that keep the rhythm disciplined. Uppercase forms are wide and stable, while the lowercase shows compact shapes and clear counters, giving text a solid, readable texture at larger sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where a firm slab-serif voice is desired. It also fits editorial and book-cover typography that needs a traditional but assertive tone, and branding applications aiming for heritage, reliability, or institutional weight.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and composed. Its bold slab details add a hint of industrial practicality, balancing formality with a grounded, workmanlike strength.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, classic slab-serif look with strong, square serifs and a steady reading rhythm. It prioritizes solidity and clarity, providing a confident typographic voice for display and editorial contexts.
The numerals and caps feel built for impact, with strong horizontal serifs and clear silhouettes that hold up well in short strings. The texture in paragraph-like settings stays consistent and dense, suggesting a design optimized for clarity and presence rather than delicacy.
