A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, squared serifs and gently bracketed joins. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with heavier verticals and slightly finer horizontals, creating a crisp, print-forward rhythm. Counters are open and broadly proportioned, and the overall set feels wide with generous letterfit in capitals, while lowercase forms maintain clear, conventional structures. Details like the ear and terminals show a slightly softened, ink-aware finish that keeps the heavy serifs from feeling overly rigid.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and editorial layouts where strong serifs and a wide stance can anchor the page. It also works well for branding and packaging that want a classic, dependable voice, and for display settings where sturdy numerals and emphatic capitals matter.
The tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and durability without feeling ornate. It reads as confident and institutional—closer to book-and-newspaper typography than to modern tech minimalism—while still maintaining a friendly, approachable solidity.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, printable slab-serif voice that stays highly legible while adding character through strong serifs and measured contrast. Its wide proportions and firm detailing suggest a focus on impactful titling and authoritative text settings rather than delicate, minimalist applications.
In text, the strong slabs create a steady horizontal emphasis and clear word shapes, with capitals that feel especially weighty and headline-ready. Numerals are robust and legible, matching the serif language closely for a cohesive typographic color across mixed content.
