A sturdy slab-serif with blunt, squared serifs and low stroke contrast. The serifs read slightly bracketed rather than hairline-sharp, giving joins a softened, inked-in feel while keeping edges decisively square. Proportions are fairly compact with generous counters and a steady vertical rhythm; curves are full and round (notably in C/O/Q) and terminals resolve into flat cuts. Numerals and lowercase show a pragmatic, slightly irregular, printed texture that adds character without becoming distressed.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, and book-cover titling where a solid slab presence is desired. It also works for packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a robust, no-nonsense voice, and for posters needing bold letterforms that stay legible and textured.
The overall tone is utilitarian and familiar, evoking editorial and industrial printing traditions. It feels confident and grounded—more workwear than luxury—while the subtle unevenness lends a warm, human, vintage flavor.
Likely designed to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice with square, durable terminals and an approachable printed texture. The aim appears to balance clear readability with a touch of vintage character for expressive, practical typography.
The face maintains strong silhouette clarity at display sizes, with sturdy horizontals and prominent slabs that hold their shape. The lowercase includes a single-storey-style construction in places and a generally straightforward, readable skeleton, contributing to an unpretentious, slightly typewriter-like impression.
