A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions and a steady, low-contrast stroke. Serifs are prominent and mostly squared-off with subtle bracketing, giving the letters a firm footprint and a clear horizontal emphasis. Curves are round and open while joins stay clean and restrained, producing an even rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. The lowercase shows a straightforward, readable construction with a single-storey g and a compact, functional feel; numerals follow the same robust, no-nonsense structure.
It suits extended reading in editorial layouts, books, and reports where a stable, traditional serif texture is desired. The strong serifs and open shapes also make it effective for headings, pull quotes, and informational typography that benefits from a sturdy, print-forward character.
The overall tone is practical and familiar, evoking typewriter and utilitarian printing while remaining clean enough for contemporary editorial use. Its bold, confident serifs add a hint of authority without becoming ornate, resulting in a dependable, matter-of-fact voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a durable slab-serif voice that balances classic, typewriter-like utility with modern clarity. Emphasis is placed on firm serifs, even color on the page, and reliable legibility across continuous text.
In text, the face holds together with consistent spacing and a regular cadence, with squared terminals and strong serifs helping letters stay distinct at moderate sizes. The broad letterforms and sturdy horizontals lend it a grounded texture that reads as solid rather than delicate.
