A sturdy slab-serif with thick, squared serifs and subtly bracketed joins that keep the forms from feeling mechanical. Strokes are low-contrast and largely vertical in stress, with crisp terminals and a deliberate, even rhythm in text. Capitals feel compact and well-contained, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions and clear differentiation between stems, bowls, and arms. Numerals are upright and solid, matching the overall square-shouldered, steady construction.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine-style settings where a robust serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, posters, and identity applications that benefit from a strong, traditional slab-serif presence and clear numerals.
The overall tone is dependable and formal, with a bookish, editorial character that reads as established and no-nonsense. Its slab serifs add weight and authority, while the restrained contrast and tidy detailing keep it calm and utilitarian rather than decorative.
This font appears designed to deliver a classic slab-serif voice with high readability and a solid, authoritative footprint. The squared serifs and low-contrast strokes suggest an emphasis on durability and consistency across both display and text-like settings.
