A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed, block-like terminals and a mostly vertical stress. Strokes are generally even with a modest thick–thin modulation that becomes more apparent in curves and diagonals, while the serifs stay firm and planar. Proportions are classical and steady, with open counters and a calm rhythm in text; lowercase forms read compact but not cramped, and the numerals appear robust and straightforward.
Well suited to editorial settings such as magazines, reports, and book work where a strong serif presence is desired. It also performs well for headlines, subheads, and identity applications that need a grounded, trustworthy voice, including packaging and institutional communications.
The overall tone is confident and institutional, with an editorial seriousness that feels familiar and dependable. Its strong serifs and measured contrast suggest a scholarly, print-first sensibility—more about clarity and authority than flash.
Designed to provide a readable, print-oriented slab serif that combines robust serifs with conventional proportions for a credible, workmanlike tone. The aim appears to be versatility across text and display while maintaining a strong typographic backbone.
The design balances slab heft with traditional lettershapes, giving it a slightly transitional flavor rather than a purely geometric slab look. In the sample text, it holds together well at display sizes, keeping crisp word shapes and clear differentiation between similar forms.
