A sturdy slab-serif with bold, bracketed serifs and largely monolinear strokes that keep contrast low. The forms are upright with clear vertical stress and a steady rhythm, combining squared slab endings with subtly rounded curves in letters like C, G, and O. Capitals feel broad and grounded, while the lowercase shows compact, readable shapes with a single-storey g and a slightly footed, substantial structure across stems and joins. Numerals are sturdy and traditional, with even color and strong baseline presence suited to dense setting.
Well suited to editorial typography, book work, and long-form reading where a firm serif structure helps guide the eye. It also performs effectively in headlines, posters, and brand systems that want a solid, no-nonsense slab-serif presence with strong contrast against sans companions.
The overall tone reads dependable and traditional, with a pragmatic, print-oriented character. Its heavy slabs and measured proportions give it a confident, slightly institutional voice that can feel editorial and authoritative without becoming ornamental.
Likely designed to provide a robust, highly legible slab-serif voice for print-like typography, balancing traditional serif construction with a simplified, sturdy slab treatment for reliable impact across text and display.
In text, the face holds a dark, even texture and maintains clarity through strong serif cues and open counters. The slab treatment adds emphasis at small sizes and in headings, while the overall geometry stays restrained rather than aggressively square.
