This typeface is a wide, low-contrast slab serif with square, unbracketed serifs and flat-ended terminals throughout. Stems and horizontals maintain an even color, while the broad proportions and roomy counters give the glyphs a calm, steady rhythm. Uppercase forms are expansive and structured, with clear, straightforward construction; lowercase maintains a readable, workmanlike texture with simple two-storey forms where expected (notably the “a”) and a single-storey “g.” Numerals are similarly wide and stable, matching the overall horizontal emphasis and rectangular serif treatment.
Well suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and other long-form settings that benefit from a steady, low-contrast texture. The bold slab presence and wide proportions also make it effective for headlines, posters, and brand systems that want a grounded, authoritative serif without high-contrast delicacy.
The overall tone is dependable and matter-of-fact, leaning toward traditional print typography without feeling delicate. Its broad stance and squared serifs suggest authority and practicality, evoking editorial and institutional settings where clarity and firmness matter more than finesse.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, highly legible slab-serif voice with a broad footprint and consistent stroke behavior. Its squared serifs and even color prioritize clarity and firmness, aiming for dependable performance across both paragraph text and strong, declarative display use.
In text, the wide set and consistent stroke weight create a strong horizontal flow and a slightly relaxed reading pace, aided by open apertures and clear letter separation. The slab details remain prominent at display sizes and continue to read cleanly in paragraphs, contributing to a solid, anchored typographic voice.
