A robust slab-serif with broad proportions, low stroke contrast, and emphatic, mostly square-ended serifs that read as heavy footings. Curves are full and smooth while horizontals and terminals stay crisp, creating a clear, grounded rhythm. The lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, with open apertures and sturdy stems; overall spacing feels generous, helping the design stay readable at text sizes. Numerals are similarly solid and evenly weighted, matching the letterforms without calling undue attention to themselves.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a confident slab serif can carry headlines, subheads, and pull quotes while remaining comfortable in short-to-medium text. It also fits branding and packaging that need an established, trustworthy voice and strong lettershape presence at display sizes.
The tone is dependable and no-nonsense, with a classic editorial feel and a hint of industrial sturdiness. Its strong serifs and wide stance convey authority and stability, making it feel established rather than decorative or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy, highly legible slab-serif voice with clear, bold serifs and broad proportions, balancing traditional readability with a more architectural, squared-off terminal treatment for stronger impact.
In the text sample, the heavier slab features remain distinct across lines, and the wide set gives words a calm, steady texture. The design’s square-leaning terminals and consistent weight produce a firm typographic color that holds up well in larger blocks of copy.
