A sturdy slab-serif with square, flat-ended serifs and a largely monolinear stroke feel. The letterforms are upright with generous, open counters and clear interior shapes, while joins and curves stay smooth and controlled. Serifs read as bold, rectangular blocks with little to no bracketing, giving the face a firm baseline and strong horizontal emphasis. Proportions are balanced and readable, with a moderate x-height and simple, no-nonsense terminals across the alphabet and figures.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a strong, readable texture is needed in both headlines and short-to-medium text. Its bold slab serifs also make it effective for branding, packaging, signage, and label-style applications that benefit from a sturdy, confident voice.
The overall tone is steady and confident, combining a traditional print sensibility with a straightforward, workmanlike presence. Its blocky serifs and even rhythm convey reliability and authority without feeling ornate or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver practical readability and a firm typographic color through strong slab serifs, controlled proportions, and straightforward detailing. It aims for a dependable, print-forward character that holds up across sizes and emphasizes structure over decoration.
Capitals have a solid, architectural stance and the lowercase maintains clarity at text sizes, aided by open apertures and consistent spacing. Numerals appear sturdy and legible, matching the same squared-off serif logic for a cohesive typographic color.
