A robust slab-serif with strong, squared serifs and visibly bracketed joins that soften the slab geometry. Strokes are generally even with a subtle, readable modulation, and the curves are broad and steady, giving the letterforms a solid, planted stance. Proportions lean classic: capitals are wide and open, lowercase is roomy with clear counters, and the overall texture reads dark and consistent in paragraph settings. Numerals are substantial and straightforward, matching the serif treatment for a cohesive, dependable line of text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, headlines, and book-oriented typography where a strong serif voice is desired. It can anchor branding that calls for heritage or institutional cues, and it holds up well in posters and pull quotes thanks to its sturdy slabs and consistent texture.
The font conveys a classic, bookish authority with a confident, workmanlike presence. Its heavy serifs and stable rhythm evoke editorial and academic typography, suggesting reliability and tradition rather than sleek minimalism.
Designed to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice that blends traditional readability with a bold, assertive silhouette. The emphasis appears to be on strong typographic presence and clarity across both capitals and lowercase in real text settings.
The slab terminals and generous counters help maintain clarity at display sizes while still producing a firm, slightly dense color in running text. Rounded forms (like C, O, and e) keep the tone approachable, balancing the strong, rectilinear serifs.
