A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions, rounded bowls, and prominent, rectangular serifs that read as slightly bracketed in many joins. Strokes feel weighty and even, with just enough modulation to keep counters open and letterforms from looking monolithic. The design leans on simple geometry—straight-sided stems, squared terminals, and generous curves—creating a strong rhythm in text. Lowercase forms are compact and practical, with single-storey shapes where visible (e.g., a, g) and robust numerals built for emphasis.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and editorial display where a bold, grounded slab presence is desirable. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and signage that needs clarity and a sturdy, printed feel, especially when set at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, blending a traditional, print-forward voice with a modern, no-nonsense solidity. It feels dependable and emphatic—more “headline and label” than “delicate and refined”—while staying approachable due to its rounded interior shapes and clear counters.
This looks designed to deliver a strong, classic slab-serif impression with contemporary clarity—prioritizing presence, legibility, and a firm baseline over finesse. The shapes suggest an intent to perform reliably in high-impact typography while keeping counters open for readable word images.
Serifs and terminals create strong horizontal anchoring, which helps the face hold together in dense settings and at distance. The wide capitals and large, open counters make it particularly impactful in uppercase lines, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture in the sample text.
