A robust slab-serif with wide proportions, sturdy vertical stems, and low stroke contrast. The serifs are bold and mostly square-ended with subtle bracketing, creating a grounded, print-oriented texture. Curves are generous and round (notably in C, O, and S) while joins and terminals stay crisp and controlled, keeping counters open and letterforms clear. Overall spacing reads even and deliberate, producing a steady rhythm from capitals through numerals and text sizes.
It performs well in editorial headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a strong, readable serif is needed. The wide, stable forms also suit posters, signage, and packaging that benefits from a dependable, traditional typographic voice.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, with a classic editorial presence that feels reliable and established. Its heavy slabs and broad stance lend an authoritative, slightly traditional voice suited to serious or informational settings rather than delicate or fashion-forward styling.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif look with strong presence and straightforward legibility, balancing bold, square serifs with rounded inner shapes for an even, readable texture.
The mix of sturdy slabs with rounded bowls gives it a friendly readability without losing its blunt, structural character. Numerals appear clear and solid, matching the capital weight and reinforcing a practical, utilitarian feel in mixed text.
