A sturdy slab-serif with flat, square-ended serifs and largely even stroke weight. The forms are upright and spacious, with open counters and clear interior shapes that keep letters from feeling cramped. Serifs are prominent but cleanly cut, producing crisp joins and a slightly mechanical, print-forward finish. Numerals and capitals carry a solid, sign-like presence while the lowercase maintains straightforward proportions for continuous reading.
Well suited to editorial typography where a firm, classic slab presence is desired, from magazine headings to pull quotes and section titles. It also works effectively for posters and brand wordmarks that benefit from a sturdy, print-rooted voice, while remaining readable in short-to-medium body text settings.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a distinctly editorial and institutional feel. Its bold, squared serifs give it an authoritative voice that reads as established and dependable rather than delicate or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif voice with strong, squared serifs and steady stroke behavior, prioritizing clarity and a robust typographic rhythm for display and editorial use.
At text sizes the strong serif rhythm remains consistent, helping maintain line texture and word-shape clarity. Round letters stay relatively open and the design avoids fussy modulation, keeping the color steady across longer passages.
