This typeface is a sturdy slab serif with bracketed, rectangular serifs and a clear, traditional construction. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with stronger verticals and lighter curves, while terminals remain crisp and squared. The letterforms are upright and fairly compact in their detailing, with generous counters and clear apertures that keep the texture even in paragraph setting. Numerals and capitals share the same strong slab presence, giving the design a consistent, emphatic rhythm across lines.
It suits book and long-form editorial typography where a firm serif structure helps guide the eye across lines. The strong slab serifs also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and institutional materials that need a traditional yet assertive voice.
The overall tone feels classic and institutional, with a calm authority typical of serious text and editorial typography. Its robust slabs add a confident, slightly old-style “printed” flavor without becoming decorative, making it read as dependable and familiar.
The design appears intended as a readable, print-forward slab serif that combines traditional proportions with more pronounced serifs for emphasis. It aims to deliver a strong page presence while preserving clarity and comfort in continuous text.
The forms maintain a consistent serif weight and bracketing across upper- and lowercase, producing a steady horizontal emphasis. Round letters stay open and readable, and the lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented silhouette that supports extended reading.
