A sturdy slab serif with broad proportions, flat rectangular serifs, and minimal stroke contrast. The design leans rectilinear, with squared terminals and a consistent, workmanlike rhythm across caps and lowercase. Counters are open and rounded within a generally boxy framework, and joins on letters like n, m, and h read as firm and structural. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, with compact, robust shapes and clear internal space; numerals follow the same solid, no-nonsense construction.
Well suited to editorial settings that want a confident, traditional voice—magazines, book interiors, pull quotes, and section headers. It also works effectively for branding and packaging where sturdy slabs and a familiar serif structure communicate heritage and dependability.
The overall tone is pragmatic and authoritative, with a classic, print-oriented sturdiness. Its blocky slabs and steady rhythm suggest reliability and a slightly vintage, industrial flavor rather than refinement or delicacy.
Likely drawn to provide a dependable slab serif for both text and display, emphasizing solidity, clarity, and a classic, print-forward texture. The consistent strokes and squared serifs prioritize legibility and presence over ornament.
At text sizes the heavy serifs and squared terminals create a strong horizontal emphasis, giving paragraphs a planted, confident color. The wide set and generous counters help keep long lines readable while maintaining a bold, editorial presence in headlines.
