A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed serifs and clear, slightly calligraphic modulation that gives the strokes a measured, medium contrast. Proportions are on the broad side with generous counters and a steady rhythm, while terminals stay crisp and squared-off. Uppercase forms read classical and constructed (with a prominent spur on G and a diagonal leg on R), and the lowercase balances round bowls with firm, slabbed joins. Numerals are compact and upright with consistent serif treatment, lending a cohesive, print-oriented texture in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to editorial design and long-form reading where a robust serif can carry headlines and text with equal confidence. It can also support branding systems that need a classic, dependable voice, and it scales effectively for posters or display lines where the slab details become a defining feature.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, with a confident, editorial voice. Its slab serifs and measured contrast suggest reliability and seriousness, while the open shapes keep it approachable rather than heavy or industrial.
Likely designed to deliver a classic slab-serif texture for print-like typography, combining sturdy serifs with enough contrast and openness to remain readable in continuous text. The emphasis appears to be on versatile, authoritative communication rather than novelty styling.
In text, the face produces a strong horizontal emphasis from the serifs and a calm baseline presence, making it feel stable and intentional. The glyph set shown maintains consistent serif geometry and stroke endings across capitals, lowercase, and figures, supporting a uniform typographic color.
