A classic slab-serif with sturdy, square-ended serifs and a noticeably traditional, text-oriented construction. Strokes show clear contrast (thicker verticals with finer horizontals), with crisp joins and relatively tight apertures that keep counters compact. The capitals are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase leans toward a compact, slightly oldstyle rhythm with a modest x-height and prominent ascenders/descenders. Numerals appear upright and straightforward, matching the serifed, print-like texture.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, book typography, and report-style documents where a classic slab-serif texture is desired. It can also work for section headings and pull quotes, providing a firm, authoritative presence without resorting to overtly decorative forms.
The overall tone feels editorial and established, evoking print typography and institutional clarity rather than playful display styling. Its measured contrast and firm serifs give it a confident, somewhat serious voice that reads as traditional and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, print-classic slab-serif voice with strong typographic structure and consistent serif treatment, balancing readability in text with enough weight and contrast for confident headings.
In running text the font creates a steady, slightly dark page color with clear baseline anchoring from the slab serifs. The serif treatment is consistent across letters, helping maintain an even rhythm in mixed-case setting and longer paragraphs.
