A sturdy slab-serif with bold, squared terminals and clearly bracketed serifs that give strokes a grounded, engineered feel. The construction is low-contrast with mostly even stem weights, open counters, and straightforward, workmanlike proportions. Uppercase forms read broad and stable, while the lowercase maintains a clear, consistent rhythm with minimal calligraphic influence. Overall spacing feels generous and the shapes stay crisp and blunt, prioritizing clarity over ornament.
Works well for editorial typography where a firm, readable slab texture is desired, including magazines, newspapers, and long-form articles at comfortable sizes. It also suits posters, headlines, and straightforward signage where a sturdy, authoritative tone and clear letterforms are important.
The tone is practical and dependable, with an institutional voice that feels familiar in editorial and informational settings. Its slab serifs add a hint of vintage authority without becoming decorative, projecting a confident, “built to last” impression.
This design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose slab serif that delivers strong readability and a consistent typographic color. The emphasis is on robust forms, familiar proportions, and an even, practical rhythm suitable for everyday typesetting.
The serif treatment is prominent enough to define the texture of paragraphs, creating a firm horizontal emphasis in text. Numerals and capitals appear designed for robust legibility, with simple, unambiguous forms and a consistent, no-frills finish.
