A sturdy slab-serif with thick, mostly unmodulated strokes and clearly bracketed serifs that read as slightly rounded rather than razor-sharp. Letterforms have a compact, workmanlike build: bowls and counters are moderate, terminals are blunt, and curves join stems with gentle transitions that keep texture even in paragraphs. The numerals are robust and legible, and the overall rhythm stays steady, with small, subtle irregularities that suggest a slightly inked or printed finish rather than a glossy geometric construction.
It suits dense text settings where a firm, even color and sturdy details help maintain readability—books, long-form editorial, and informational copy. The strong slabs also scale well for headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or labeling that benefits from a classic, dependable presence.
The tone is traditional and practical, with a familiar newspaper-and-ledger flavor. Its heavy serifs and compact proportions give it a dependable, authoritative voice that feels established and utilitarian rather than delicate or fashion-forward.
The design appears intended as a no-nonsense slab serif that prioritizes clarity and durability, delivering a familiar print-oriented texture with enough warmth in the serif brackets and joins to stay comfortable in continuous reading.
At text sizes the face holds a consistent dark color and a strong baseline, making it read solid and grounded. The serif treatment and rounded joins soften the weight, helping large headlines feel inviting rather than harsh.
