A robust slab-serif with strong, square-shouldered serifs and subtly bracketed joins that soften the transitions into stems. Strokes show moderate contrast with a steady vertical emphasis, giving letters a firm, grounded rhythm. Counters are generally open and generously sized, while curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are smoothly drawn and balanced against the heavier serifs. The lowercase is compact and readable, with a two-storey a and g, short-to-moderate ascenders/descenders, and sturdy punctuation-like detailing in terminals.
Well-suited to magazine and newspaper-style typography, book interiors, and long-form editorial layouts where a sturdy serif helps maintain a consistent texture. It also performs effectively for headlines, pull quotes, packaging, and identity work that benefits from a grounded, classic slab presence.
The overall tone feels editorial and traditional—confident, steady, and slightly formal without becoming delicate. Its slab structure conveys authority and practicality, suggesting print heritage and dependable readability.
Designed to deliver a confident slab-serif voice that balances traditional proportions with a practical, contemporary sturdiness. The intent appears focused on clarity and typographic authority, offering a dependable reading texture with enough heft for impactful titles.
The numerals are solid and text-friendly, matching the serif treatment and weight distribution of the letters. Uppercase forms read especially well in display sizes due to their broad stance and clear serif shaping, while the lowercase maintains an even color suitable for continuous reading.
