A sturdy slab-serif with generous, rectangular serifs and softly bracketed joins that keep the shapes calm rather than sharp. Strokes read mostly even with only modest modulation, producing a dark, steady color in text. Counters are open and fairly round, while terminals stay squared and confident; the lowercase shows straightforward construction with a two-storey “a” and a compact, readable rhythm. Numerals are sturdy and clear, with broad proportions that hold up well at display and text sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a strong serif voice is needed, and it can also serve for editorial or book typography when a firm, traditional texture is desired. Its robust shapes make it a good option for posters, packaging, and brand systems that want a dependable, print-classic feel.
The overall tone feels editorial and institutional, with a slightly retro, print-minded character. Its heavy serifs and stable proportions convey authority and reliability without looking ornate or fussy.
Likely designed to deliver a confident slab-serif voice that bridges text utility and display impact. The emphasis appears to be on legibility and consistent texture, paired with bold, structural serifs for a clear, authoritative presence.
Capitals have a classic, sign-and-title presence thanks to their broad stance and pronounced slabs, while the lowercase maintains a practical, workhorse cadence. The texture in paragraphs appears consistent and dense, suggesting it will maintain presence in longer lines without becoming spiky or fragile.
