A wide, sturdy slab-serif with flat, unbracketed serifs and mostly square-cut terminals. Strokes are relatively even with moderate contrast, creating a confident, poster-friendly color on the page. The forms are generously proportioned with open counters and ample internal space; curves are smooth while joins remain crisp and orthogonal. Details like the straight-sided serifs, firm horizontals, and slightly mechanical construction give it a consistent, disciplined texture across both uppercase and lowercase.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and short passages where a strong typographic presence is desired. It can support editorial layouts, book or magazine titling, heritage-inspired branding, and packaging that benefits from a grounded, traditional slab-serif voice.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, with a hint of vintage printing and institutional authority. Its wide stance and assertive slabs read as steady and dependable rather than delicate, lending a bookish, established voice that suits serious or heritage-leaning messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, readable slab-serif with a wide footprint and clean, square serif joins, balancing classic typographic cues with a straightforward, utilitarian construction for impactful display and confident text settings.
In text, the spacing and broad letterforms create a relaxed rhythm and clear word shapes, while the slab terminals keep lines visually anchored. Numerals appear sturdy and legible at display sizes, matching the serifed character of the alphabet.
