A sturdy slab-serif with blunt, rectangular serifs and mostly uniform stroke weight. The letterforms are built from firm verticals and broad curves, with bracketed joins that keep the shapes cohesive rather than purely mechanical. Counters are open and relatively generous, and the lowercase shows a straightforward, workmanlike construction with clear bowls and sturdy stems. Numerals are wide and stable, with a strong baseline presence and simple, readable forms.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium text in editorial layouts where a firm, authoritative texture is desired. It can also work effectively in posters, packaging, and signage that benefit from sturdy serifs and high letter clarity at a range of sizes.
The overall tone is solid and dependable, with a familiar editorial authority. Its blocky serifs and steady rhythm suggest a pragmatic, no-nonsense voice that can feel both classic and slightly collegiate. The texture reads bold and confident without becoming overly decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver a robust slab-serif voice that prioritizes clarity and impact. Its squared serifs and steady proportions aim for a classic, utilitarian feel that holds up in display use while remaining comfortable in running text.
The design maintains a consistent, ink-friendly silhouette across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, producing an even text color in paragraph settings. Curved letters retain a soft roundness against the otherwise squared-off serif treatment, giving the face a balanced mix of warmth and structure.
