A sturdy slab-serif with largely unbracketed, square-cut serifs and clear, deliberate stroke endings. Strokes show noticeable contrast between verticals and thinner horizontals, with generous open counters and a steady, readable rhythm. Capitals feel wide and grounded, while lowercase forms stay straightforward and slightly compact, with a single-storey “g” and a firm, squared-off “t” and “f”. Numerals are well-proportioned and clear, with a classic, text-friendly build.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its slabs and open counters hold up well at text sizes. It can also support branding and packaging that want a classic, authoritative voice, and works effectively for headings when set with ample spacing.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, with an editorial seriousness that reads as dependable and established. Its crisp slabs and measured contrast give it a mildly formal, institutional character without feeling overly ornate.
The type appears intended as a practical, text-oriented slab serif that balances classic proportions with crisp, squared detailing. Its consistent terminals and stable rhythm suggest a focus on clarity and dependable performance across paragraphs and display lines.
The design emphasizes flat terminals and strong baseline presence, producing good word-shape stability in paragraphs. Round letters (C, O, Q) remain smooth but are tempered by the squared serif vocabulary, keeping the texture consistent across mixed-case setting.
