A robust slab serif with thick, bracketed serifs and a steady, moderate contrast between stems and horizontals. Curves are full and slightly squarish in their turning, while terminals often resolve into blunt slabs or small ball-like ends, giving the outlines a carved, print-friendly feel. Proportions are fairly traditional with a moderate x-height, broad capitals, and lowercase forms that keep counters open without becoming airy. Spacing reads even and text-color is dense, producing a consistent rhythm across mixed-case settings and numerals.
Works well for editorial typography, book work, and long-form reading where a darker, sturdy texture is desirable. Its strong serifs and compact, authoritative shapes also hold up in headlines, posters, and brand identities that want a traditional, dependable impression.
The overall tone is confident and institutional, combining the solidity of a slab serif with a restrained, bookish voice. It feels suited to contexts that need clarity and authority rather than overt friendliness or high fashion.
Likely designed to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice with strong presence on the page, balancing readability with a bold, print-rooted personality. The inclusion of oldstyle-looking numerals and the dense text color suggest an emphasis on literary and editorial composition.
The uppercase shows strong, stable silhouettes with prominent top serifs, while the lowercase introduces a slightly more calligraphic liveliness through rounded joins and occasional ball terminals (notably in letters like a, c, and f). Numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and some descending forms, reinforcing a literary, text-oriented character.
