This typeface is a sturdy slab serif with heavy, bracketed serifs and generally low stroke contrast. Terminals tend to be squared-off with subtly rounded corners, giving the forms a durable, printed feel. Proportions are fairly compact with strong verticals and clear, open counters; curves are controlled rather than calligraphic. The lowercase shows a double-story “g” and a compact, utilitarian rhythm, while punctuation and numerals carry the same blocky serif treatment for a consistent texture in text.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a firm serif voice is desired, particularly for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes. The strong slab serifs and compact rhythm also work effectively in posters, packaging, and signage where clarity and presence matter.
The overall tone is practical and traditional, with an authoritative, workmanlike presence. Its bold slab details read as dependable and straightforward rather than decorative, evoking editorial, academic, or industrial sensibilities.
The design appears intended as a dependable slab serif for general-purpose display and text use, prioritizing solidity, legibility, and consistent rhythm. Its restrained detailing and uniform construction suggest a focus on versatility and a classic, no-nonsense typographic voice.
In the sample text, the face builds a dense, even typographic color with pronounced serifs that help define word shapes. Several joins and inner corners show small notches/ink-trap-like cut-ins, reinforcing a robust, print-oriented character and helping keep counters from clogging at heavier sizes.
