A crisp slab serif with square, bracketless serifs and a clean, low-contrast stroke structure. The forms are fairly wide with generous interior space, producing large counters and open apertures that keep text readable. Curves are smooth and near-monoline in feel, while terminals and serifs end decisively in flat edges for a sturdy rhythm. Lowercase shows a tall x-height and straightforward construction; figures are clear and evenly spaced, matching the same square-ended detailing.
It performs well in editorial contexts such as magazines, catalogs, and long-form reading where a sturdy serif can add structure while remaining clear. The wide stance and strong terminals also make it effective for headlines, posters, and branding systems that want a dependable, classic voice with a contemporary cleanliness.
The overall tone is confident and practical, with a slightly retro editorial flavor. Its square serifs and roomy proportions give it a grounded, no-nonsense voice that can feel both familiar and authoritative without becoming heavy.
The design appears intended to provide an approachable slab serif for both display and text, emphasizing clarity through open counters and a tall lowercase while keeping a firm, square-ended presence for hierarchy and impact.
In paragraph setting the texture reads even and calm, with consistent spacing and a steady baseline. The design balances geometric clarity (notably in round letters) with traditional slab-serif cues, making it feel structured rather than decorative.
