A sturdy slab-serif with blocky, square-ended terminals and minimal stroke modulation. The letterforms are roomy and open, with a tall x-height and straightforward, upright construction that keeps counters clear at text sizes. Serifs are broad and mostly unbracketed, creating crisp joins and a distinctly rectilinear rhythm. Overall spacing feels generous and stable, giving lines a solid, even color without looking overly dense.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where a strong, grounded slab-serif voice is needed, and it also holds up in editorial settings thanks to its open counters and tall lowercase. It can add a confident, structured feel to branding and packaging, and works effectively for posters or display text that benefits from bold, squared terminals.
The tone is practical and confident with a subtle retro/editorial flavor—more mechanical and workmanlike than delicate or calligraphic. Its blunt slabs and open shapes suggest clarity and authority, evoking textbook, newspaper, or signage sensibilities.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif texture with crisp, square finishing—prioritizing legibility and a firm typographic backbone while adding a distinctive, slightly vintage rigidity.
Uppercase forms read especially strong and architectural, while the lowercase maintains a simple, functional structure with clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, matching the typeface’s squared-off finishing and no-nonsense presence.
