A sturdy slab-serif with squared, largely unbracketed serifs and clean, sharply cut terminals. Strokes are fairly even with moderate contrast, producing a stable, print-like rhythm in text. Capitals are wide and structured with generous counters (notably in C, O, and Q), while diagonals in A, V, W, X, and Y are firm and geometric. The lowercase is straightforward and readable, with a compact, workmanlike feel; the two-storey a and the open shapes in e and c keep paragraphs clear. Numerals are traditional and robust, with strong verticals and clear differentiation at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial design such as books, magazines, and essays where a traditional serif voice is desired with extra firmness. It can also anchor headlines, pull quotes, and institutional or heritage branding where clarity and authority matter.
The font projects a classic, authoritative tone—practical rather than ornamental. Its square slab details add a faintly retro, “typewriter-to-editorial” sensibility while remaining polished enough for contemporary publishing.
The design appears intended to offer a no-nonsense slab-serif reading experience: classic proportions, clear letterforms, and consistent square serifs that add weight and confidence without becoming overly decorative.
Serifs and stroke endings stay consistent across the alphabet, giving the face an even color in running text. The design balances solid presence with legibility, making it feel dependable for longer passages without looking delicate.
