A robust slab serif with heavy, bracketed terminals and a solid, even color on the page. Strokes are broadly uniform with modest contrast, and curves are generously rounded, giving counters a soft, open feel despite the weight. Serifs read as blocky and supportive rather than sharp, and the overall proportions are comfortably broad, producing stable word shapes. Numerals match the text weight well and carry the same sturdy, slightly softened detailing.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and short paragraphs where a strong typographic voice is needed. It also fits branding, packaging, and signage applications that benefit from a sturdy, traditional slab-serif presence and high impact at larger sizes.
The font conveys a dependable, no-nonsense tone with a warm, approachable edge. Its hefty slabs and compact detailing evoke traditional print and signage, suggesting practicality and confidence rather than delicacy.
Likely designed as a workhorse slab serif that prioritizes bold presence and straightforward readability, pairing classic slab structure with softened details for a more inviting, contemporary feel.
In text, the face maintains strong rhythm and clear vertical stress, with punctuation and dots reading dark and prominent at typical sizes. The heavy serifs and overall density make it most comfortable when given adequate leading and a bit of breathing room, especially in longer passages.
