A sturdy slab-serif with square, flat-ended serifs and minimal stroke modulation. The forms are upright and broadly proportioned, with crisp corners, firm horizontals, and a consistent, even rhythm. Uppercase letters feel solid and classical, while the lowercase shows compact, utilitarian shapes with a double-storey “g” and a strong, squared-off “t” and “f” that emphasize the slab structure. Numerals are similarly robust and open, designed for clear, high-contrast-in-shape reading rather than delicate detail.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and editorial layouts where a firm serif voice is desirable. It can also serve in book or magazine typography, especially for titles and subheads, and works for branding that needs a dependable, heritage-leaning tone with strong typographic presence.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a pragmatic, workmanlike presence. It reads as editorial and institutional—reliable, no-nonsense, and slightly old-school—while still feeling clean and contemporary enough for modern layout.
The design appears intended to deliver a clear, resilient slab-serif voice with squared terminals and consistent structure, balancing readability with a bold, authoritative texture for print-style composition.
The heavy, rectangular serif treatment gives strong baseline anchoring and steady word shapes in text. Counters remain open and the joins are uncomplicated, supporting legibility at moderate sizes and reinforcing a straightforward, print-forward character.
