A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, blocky serifs and gently bracketed transitions into the stems. Strokes stay largely even throughout, with softened curves and rounded interior joins that prevent the heavy serifs from feeling brittle. Proportions read slightly expanded, and the capitals have a broad, steady presence; lowercase forms are clear and open, with a readable two-storey “a” and a single-storey “g.” Figures and punctuation follow the same solid, squared-off logic, producing a consistent, print-oriented texture in text settings.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where the chunky slabs can carry strong typographic emphasis, and also effective for editorial pull quotes and magazine-style layouts. In display-size paragraphs it delivers a sturdy, traditional texture that can support packaging and branded print materials requiring a confident, established feel.
The overall tone is classic and dependable, with a confident, editorial voice. Its bold, architectural serifs evoke established print traditions while the rounded shaping keeps it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, reliable slab-serif voice with strong typographic presence, prioritizing clear forms and a steady rhythm for impactful editorial and display use.
In running text, the strong serifs create a pronounced horizontal rhythm and a firm baseline, while the open counters help maintain clarity at larger paragraph sizes. The design reads especially stable in mixed-case settings where the wide capitals and sturdy lowercase work together to form an even, composed color.
