This is a robust slab-serif with heavy, squared serifs and mostly monolinear strokes. The forms are compact and steady, with gently rounded corners and slight bracketing that softens the otherwise blocky construction. Counters are open and legible, and the lowercase shows a straightforward, no-nonsense rhythm with a two-storey g and a clear, sturdy t. Numerals are solid and readable, with even color and consistent vertical stress across text sizes.
Its dense, sturdy presence makes it well suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where firmness and clarity matter. It also fits editorial layouts, packaging, and straightforward signage where a classic slab-serif voice can carry information with authority.
The overall tone is practical and dependable, with a warm, approachable heft that feels at home in traditional print contexts. It reads as confident and grounded rather than delicate or mannered, giving paragraphs a stable, editorial voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable slab-serif workhorse: strong serifs for emphasis, restrained detailing for consistency, and straightforward letterforms that remain clear in continuous reading.
In running text the texture is dark and even, producing strong emphasis and good presence on the page. The shapes lean toward utilitarian clarity, while the softened joins and rounded terminals keep it from feeling overly mechanical.
