A sturdy slab-serif with bold, blocky terminals and a generally even, confident rhythm. The serifs are prominent and mostly squared, with subtle bracketing and occasional wedge-like joins that keep corners from feeling overly mechanical. Forms are fairly wide and open, with rounded bowls in letters like C, O, and G contrasted by flat, weighty horizontals in E and F. Lowercase shows clear, readable structures with a single-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and strong vertical stems; the overall impression is solid and high-contrast enough to read as crisp without becoming delicate.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium passages where strong typographic presence is desired. It works well for editorial layouts, brand wordmarks, packaging, and display settings that benefit from a bold, dependable slab-serif voice.
The tone is assertive and traditional, evoking classic editorial and institutional typography with a slightly contemporary cleanness. Its heavy serifs and stable proportions convey reliability and authority, while the rounded bowls add approachability.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif feel with modernized smoothness and strong readability, balancing robust serifs with open counters for clear text color and confident display impact.
Capitals feel especially monumental due to the thick slabs and broad internal spaces, which helps maintain clarity at larger sizes. Numerals are straightforward and sturdy, matching the slab structure and keeping a consistent color in text.
