A sturdy slab-serif with generous, slightly wide proportions and a steady, medium-contrast stroke. Serifs are bold and mostly square in footprint, often softly bracketed into the stems, creating a robust, anchored rhythm. Curves are full and controlled, with compact apertures and a consistent, print-like texture in text. The lowercase shows a clear, workmanlike structure with a two-storey “g,” a single-storey “a,” and stout numerals that stay legible at reading sizes.
Well-suited to editorial and publishing contexts where a stable, readable serif texture is needed—books, magazines, and newspaper-style layouts. The sturdy serifs and clear numerals also make it a good fit for reports, institutional materials, and practical display like straightforward signage or labels.
The overall tone feels pragmatic and authoritative, like a classic book or newspaper face with a hint of typewriter-era solidity. Its firm serifs and even cadence project reliability and a slightly nostalgic, utilitarian character rather than delicacy or high-fashion refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver dependable readability with a classic slab-serif voice: strong terminals, consistent rhythm, and a no-nonsense structure that holds up in continuous text while retaining a recognizable, vintage-leaning presence.
In the sample text, spacing and color read even and calm, with strong horizontal emphasis from the slab serifs. The design favors clarity and stability, making it look comfortable in longer paragraphs while still providing enough personality for headings.
