A heavy, steady slab serif with broad proportions and an even, low-contrast stroke. Serifs are large and blocky with softened corners, giving the letterforms a rounded, approachable edge rather than a sharp industrial bite. Curves are generous and smoothly joined, while joins and terminals stay visually consistent across caps and lowercase, producing a solid, uniform texture in paragraphs. The lowercase shows a single-storey “a” and simple, sturdy construction overall, and the numerals match the same robust, block-footed rhythm.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and short-to-medium editorial passages where a strong, legible slab serif texture is desired. It can also work effectively for packaging and branding that needs a sturdy, traditional voice, and for signage-style applications where bold letter presence and clear silhouettes are important.
The overall tone is grounded and dependable, with a slightly warm, old-school flavor. Its weight and soft slab detailing feel assertive without becoming aggressive, lending a friendly authority that reads well in practical, everyday typography.
This design appears intended as a straightforward, workmanlike slab serif with a comfortable, softened finish—prioritizing readability, consistency, and a confident presence over ornamental detailing.
In the sample text, the font holds a dark, even typographic color and maintains clarity at larger text sizes. Wide letterforms and substantial serifs create strong horizontal emphasis, making spacing and line breaks feel stable and measured.
