A sturdy slab serif with low stroke contrast and a steady, upright posture. The serifs are bold and mostly squared, with subtle bracketing in places that softens joins and corners. Counters are open and rounded, while terminals stay firm and flat, giving the letterforms a practical, workmanlike rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel classical and stable, and the lowercase shows a slightly compact, text-friendly build with clear differentiation between forms like a, g, and q. Numerals follow the same solid, even color, with straightforward construction and consistent serif treatment.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and magazine text where a firm serif can support readability and structure. It can also serve institutional and informational design—reports, brochures, and signage systems—when a classic yet sturdy voice is desired, and it holds up for headlines that need a grounded, authoritative feel.
The overall tone reads editorial and dependable, combining a traditional book-page seriousness with a more industrial, no-nonsense sturdiness. It feels confident and familiar rather than fashionable, suited to contexts that benefit from clarity and authority.
Likely intended as a versatile slab serif for text-forward work, balancing strong, square serifs with restrained contrast to deliver a stable texture and reliable readability across sizes.
The design maintains consistent weight distribution across straight and curved strokes, producing an even typographic color in paragraphs. The slab treatment is prominent enough to register at display sizes, but controlled enough to remain comfortable in continuous reading.
