A sturdy slab-serif with squared, blocky serifs and largely uniform stroke thickness. The design leans rectilinear: straight stems, flat terminals, and simple, geometric joins, with only modest rounding in bowls and curves. Caps read broad and steady, while the lowercase maintains a conventional structure with clear ascenders/descenders and compact, assertive serifs. Overall spacing and rhythm feel even and controlled, favoring clear word shapes and a firm typographic “color” on the page.
It performs well in headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a solid slab-serif character is desirable. The strong serifs and steady strokes also suit editorial and book typography, especially for titles, running heads, and other navigational elements. In branding and packaging, it can convey reliability and heritage while staying clean and readable.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, suggesting classic print traditions with a no-nonsense, editorial presence. Its sturdy serifs and restrained detailing give it an institutional, trustworthy voice—more pragmatic than decorative—suited to information-forward typography.
The design appears intended to provide a dependable slab-serif voice with clear, traditional letterforms and a firm, squared finish. It aims for robust readability and a confident presence in display and editorial settings rather than delicate refinement.
The figures appear straightforward and highly legible, with strong baseline anchoring and consistent weight. The slab treatment is prominent across both uppercase and lowercase, giving short text a distinctive, emphatic texture without relying on high contrast.
