A sturdy slab serif with clearly bracketed, rectangular serifs and a consistent, steady rhythm. Strokes show modest contrast with smooth curves in rounds (O, C) and confident, squared-off serif blocks on stems and terminals. Counters are open and legible, with moderately wide proportions and a stable baseline feel. Numerals match the text color closely, with clear, no-nonsense forms and strong horizontal feet on figures like 1 and 4.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine design, and brand systems that want a grounded, print-forward voice. The strong slabs also support impactful headlines and display lines, while the open counters and measured contrast keep longer passages readable.
The overall tone is practical and familiar, evoking printed pages, institutional publishing, and workmanlike signage. Its solid slabs and even pacing create a dependable, slightly old-style atmosphere—serious without feeling overly formal.
Likely drawn to deliver a classic slab-serif presence that balances firmness and readability. The design emphasizes sturdy serifs, clear letterforms, and a familiar typographic texture that works across both text and display contexts.
Lowercase forms maintain clarity at text sizes, with distinct, readable shapes in characters like a, e, g, and y. The heavy serif presence adds emphasis in headings while still remaining comfortable in paragraph settings, especially where a classic slab personality is desired.
