A sturdy slab-serif with confident, blocky serifs and largely squared terminals. Strokes show noticeable contrast between thick verticals and thinner horizontals, giving the letters a crisp, print-oriented rhythm rather than a purely geometric feel. Uppercase forms are broad and stable with generous internal space, while the lowercase keeps a clear, readable structure; the single-storey “a” and “g” and the strong, straight stems reinforce a straightforward, workmanlike texture. Numerals are proportionate and sturdy, with the “0” nearly round and the “1” simple and upright, matching the overall no-nonsense construction.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and editorial layouts where a solid, readable slab serif is needed. It can also work for book interiors at comfortable sizes, as well as posters and branding that benefit from a traditional, assertive voice and strong typographic presence.
The font communicates a classic, dependable tone with a slightly utilitarian edge. Its bold slabs and clear shapes feel authoritative and editorial, suggesting traditional print craft without becoming ornate or delicate.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, highly legible slab-serif voice with a classic print sensibility—strong enough for display use while retaining the structural clarity needed for extended reading.
In text, the heavy serifs and strong vertical emphasis create a dark, even color that holds together well at larger sizes and in short paragraphs. The design balances squared details with subtle rounding in curves and joins, preventing the overall texture from feeling overly rigid.
