A sturdy slab-serif with monoline-ish strokes and generously bracketed, blocky serifs. Curves are slightly softened and the joins show a subtle ink-trap feel, giving counters and apertures a carved, printed texture rather than a clinical geometric finish. Proportions are fairly compact with moderate set width and a steady rhythm; the uppercase feels solid and slightly condensed in stance, while the lowercase maintains clear shapes and open bowls. Figures are robust and readable with consistent weight and a straightforward, no-nonsense construction.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and headlines that need a firm, printed presence. The bold slab serifs and even color also suit packaging, labels, and posters where clarity and a vintage-leaning authority are desired.
The overall tone is classic and utilitarian, evoking mid‑century print and typewriter-era editorial work without becoming overly distressed. It feels dependable and institutional, with a warm, human touch coming from the softened corners and bracketed serifs.
Likely intended as a practical slab-serif for readable, repeatable setting—balancing strong serifs and steady stroke weight with softened detailing to keep the page color warm and approachable.
The serif treatment stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, helping long text maintain an even texture. Letterforms lean toward traditional book shapes (notably in the two-storey-style structure cues and the broad, anchored stems), which supports comfortable continuous reading.
