A sturdy slab-serif with prominent, squared serifs and subtly bracketed joins. Strokes show noticeable contrast—verticals read heavier while horizontals and curves taper—creating a crisp, bookish texture. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with open counters and clear interior space; caps feel stately and low-contrast in silhouette, while lowercase keeps a traditional structure with a two-storey a and compact, readable joins. Numerals are rounded and ample, matching the serifed, firmly grounded rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a solid, classic voice is needed—magazine features, newspapers, and book typography. The wide proportions and bold serif structure also make it effective for headlines, cover lines, and branding that aims for heritage or academic credibility.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, with a hint of vintage printing. It feels dependable and institutional—more textbook and newspaper than playful display—while the wide stance adds confidence and presence.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional slab-serif voice with strong presence and dependable readability. Its wide set and emphatic serifs suggest a balance between text utility and headline impact, evoking classic print conventions while staying clean and direct.
Serifs are emphatic and consistent, giving strong baseline traction and a steady horizontal cadence. The design maintains clarity in dense text, aided by open apertures and straightforward terminals that keep forms crisp at larger sizes.
