This typeface is a sturdy slab serif with heavy, squared-off serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The serifs are mostly unbracketed to lightly bracketed, producing firm horizontal “feet” and strong top terminals, especially evident in capitals like E, F, T, and H. Curves are round and full (C, G, O, Q) and pair with straight-sided verticals, creating a confident, slightly industrial rhythm. Counters are open and the overall drawing favors clarity over delicacy, with compact joins and clear terminals in both uppercase and lowercase.
It works well for long-form reading in print or digital editorial settings, where the firm serifs help anchor lines and maintain consistency. The sturdy construction also suits reports, academic materials, and interfaces that benefit from a clear, serious typographic voice, while its capitals can carry short headings and subheads without feeling fragile.
The font conveys a practical, authoritative tone with an editorial and institutional feel. Its strong slabs and straightforward construction read as dependable and traditional, while the clean, squared terminals give it a crisp, utilitarian edge.
The design appears intended as a highly legible slab serif for general-purpose typography, balancing traditional serif conventions with squared terminals and a workmanlike sturdiness. The emphasis is on stable texture, strong structure, and dependable readability across sizes.
In text, the face maintains a steady texture with clear word shapes and a pronounced baseline presence from the slab serifs. Numerals are robust and readable, matching the letterforms’ blocky, grounded character.
