A sturdy slab-serif with broad, squared terminals and lightly bracketed joins that keep the forms from feeling purely mechanical. Strokes are even and robust, with a slightly condensed, vertical rhythm and clear, open counters. The serifs read as strong blocks across caps and lowercase, and many joins show small notches and tight inner corners that give an ink-trap-like texture at text sizes. Numerals and capitals are straightforward and utilitarian, emphasizing stability and consistent alignment over flourish.
It suits long-form reading contexts such as editorial layouts, books, and reports where a strong serif can guide the eye and hold up in dense paragraphs. It also works well for headings, captions, and labels that benefit from a grounded, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is dependable and no-nonsense, with a classic editorial seriousness. Its chunky serifs and firm baseline presence evoke utilitarian printing—confident, slightly old-school, and built for clarity rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended as a plainspoken slab-serif workhorse: strong serifs for structure, restrained details for consistency, and a compact, readable texture optimized for practical text setting.
The lowercase shows a pragmatic, workmanlike construction with compact curves and decisive terminals, producing a crisp, slightly rugged texture in paragraphs. Round letters stay fairly upright and contained, while diagonals and joins maintain a consistent weight so the font doesn’t sparkle— it reads solid and steady.
