A sturdy slab-serif with blocky, bracketed serifs and low stroke contrast. The letterforms are upright and calmly proportioned, with generous counters and a steady, even rhythm. Curves are round but disciplined, terminals land cleanly, and the overall color on the page is firm without feeling overly heavy. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, workmanlike geometry that reads clearly at both display and text sizes.
Well suited for editorial layouts, book and long-form text, and headings that need a firm, grounded voice. It also works for posters, signage, and brand systems where a sturdy slab-serif presence can carry hierarchy without ornate detailing.
The tone is dependable and traditional, with an editorial gravitas that suggests printed matter and institutional typography. It feels straightforward rather than fashionable, projecting clarity, stability, and quiet confidence.
The design appears aimed at being a reliable slab-serif workhorse: clear shapes, consistent rhythm, and assertive serifs that hold up across a range of sizes and settings. Its choices prioritize legibility and a classic print-oriented character over novelty.
The slabs are prominent enough to anchor lines and create a strong baseline, while the spacing and proportions keep paragraphs from looking cramped. The overall impression is cohesive and uniform, emphasizing legibility and a no-nonsense personality.
