A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed serifs and a compact, confident build. Strokes show clear but controlled contrast, with heavier verticals and firm, rectangular slabs that create strong horizontal accents. Curves are generous and fairly round, terminals are clean, and the overall rhythm feels even and deliberate. The lowercase has a traditional, text-oriented construction (double-storey “a” and “g”), while capitals are stately with wide bowls and stable proportions; figures are similarly solid and readable.
Well-suited to book typography, magazines, and long-form editorial layouts where a sturdy serif texture is desirable. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and identity work that benefits from a traditional, authoritative voice—especially in print-like or heritage-themed contexts.
The tone is authoritative and bookish, leaning toward classic print and institutional typography rather than trendy minimalism. Its bold, stable serifs and measured contrast give it a dependable, archival feel—serious, formal, and slightly old-style in flavor without becoming ornate.
Likely designed to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice that bridges text and display use: strong, bracketed serifs for presence and structure, paired with restrained contrast and familiar letterforms for comfortable reading and broad editorial utility.
In paragraph settings the face holds a dark, consistent color with clear word shapes, supported by pronounced serifs that help guide the eye along lines. The slabs are substantial enough to read as emphatic at display sizes while remaining composed in text, giving it a versatile editorial presence.
