A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed, rectangular serifs and clearly modeled stroke contrast. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with generous counters and a steady, upright stance, producing an open, readable texture. Terminals are firm and squared-off, while curves (C, G, O, Q) are smoothly drawn and paired with confident slab joins. Lowercase forms keep a traditional, text-forward skeleton with a two-storey a and g, clear apertures, and solid, even color across words.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a robust serif presence is desired, including magazines, reports, and book work. The wide set and strong serifs also make it effective for headlines, institutional branding, and clear, traditional signage where a confident, authoritative tone is beneficial.
The overall tone feels institutional and editorial—serious, dependable, and quietly traditional. Its strong slabs and measured contrast give it a bookish, established voice that reads as credible rather than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif voice with strong presence and dependable readability, combining firm serifs with moderate stroke modeling for an editorial, heritage-leaning feel.
Capitals are commanding and well-balanced, with a prominent T and E/F that emphasize the horizontal slab theme. Numerals appear sturdy and conventional, matching the text color and maintaining clarity at display sizes.
