A sturdy slab-serif with generous proportions, blocky rectangular serifs, and noticeable bracketing that softens the joins into the stems. Strokes show moderate thick–thin shaping rather than monoline construction, with rounded corners and slightly swollen curves that give counters a warm, full feel. Uppercase forms are broad and stable with strong horizontals, while lowercase keeps a traditional, readable rhythm with a two-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a ball-topped j. Numerals are hefty and legible, with clear differentiation and consistent serif treatment across the set.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and bold editorial typography where a strong, classic voice is needed. It can also work effectively for branding, packaging, and signage that benefit from sturdy letterforms and high-impact presence, while remaining readable in short passages of text.
The overall tone is assertive and dependable, with a classic print flavor that reads as editorial and institutional. Its weight and slab structure project authority, while the rounded bracketing prevents it from feeling harsh, adding a welcoming, slightly vintage warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional slab-serif voice with contemporary smoothness: strong slabs for authority and visibility, paired with rounded bracketing and moderate contrast to keep the texture friendly and readable in real-world settings.
The design favors solid silhouettes and open apertures for clarity at larger text and display sizes, with a consistent serif vocabulary that reinforces a cohesive texture in paragraphs and headlines. Curved letters (C, G, O, S) appear especially full and smooth, helping the font maintain an even color despite its strong slabs.
