A sturdy slab serif with bracketed, rectangular serifs and a confident, even rhythm. Strokes show noticeable but controlled contrast, with clear thick–thin transitions in curves and diagonals while maintaining solid vertical stems. Terminals and serifs are crisp and squared, giving letters a grounded feel; counters are open and shapes are broadly proportioned for clear word silhouettes. The overall texture is dense but readable, with consistent serif treatment across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Well suited for editorial design, book and magazine typography, and institutional or heritage-leaning branding where a firm, trustworthy voice is needed. Its slab serifs and stable rhythm also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and packaging that benefits from a classic, workmanlike character.
The font conveys a traditional, editorial tone—serious, dependable, and slightly formal. Its bold, slabbed finishing and measured contrast add a sense of authority that reads well in text-forward contexts without feeling overly decorative.
Likely designed to deliver a classic slab-serif voice with enough contrast and refinement for comfortable reading, while keeping strong serifs and sturdy construction for emphasis and presence. The aim appears to balance traditional text usability with an assertive, print-oriented personality.
Capitals have a strong, architectural presence with prominent serifs and steady verticals, while the lowercase keeps a practical, text-oriented structure. Numerals are straightforward and robust, matching the weight and serif logic of the letters for cohesive setting in running text and informational matter.
