A sturdy slab serif with bracketed, rectangular serifs and softly rounded joins that keep the heavy strokes from feeling rigid. The face shows noticeable stroke contrast for a slab, with thick verticals and slightly lighter connecting strokes, plus ample counters that help maintain clarity at display sizes. Proportions are traditional and readable, with a moderately wide stance, clear apertures, and a steady rhythm across the alphabet. The lowercase has a compact, workmanlike texture with a two-storey g, sturdy vertical stems, and a curved-shoulder r that reinforces the font’s grounded tone.
Well-suited to headlines and titles where a firm, classic slab voice is desired, such as magazine mastheads, book covers, and poster typography. It can also support branding and packaging that needs a traditional, trustworthy tone, especially when set in short to medium lines at larger sizes.
The overall tone is confident and dependable, with a classic editorial presence that suggests authority without feeling delicate. Its slab structure and softened detailing give it a practical, familiar voice associated with traditional print and signage.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif authority with added friendliness from rounded brackets and open interior spaces. It prioritizes strong presence and readability in display settings while maintaining a conventional, dependable typographic character.
The numerals are robust and evenly weighted, matching the caps’ solidity; rounded forms like 0, 6, 8, and 9 stay open and legible. Capital shapes lean conventional and formal, while the lowercase introduces slightly more warmth through rounded terminals and smooth curves.
