A sturdy slab-serif with broad, squared serifs and gently bracketed joins that soften the overall silhouette. Strokes stay mostly even, with modest modulation and rounded transitions that keep counters open and readable. The capitals are wide and deliberate, while the lowercase shows a traditional, text-forward build (two-storey a and g, compact terminals, and a robust shoulder on n/m). Numerals are large and emphatic, with a straightforward, utilitarian construction that matches the typeface’s solid texture.
It suits long-form reading where a firm serif presence helps guide the eye, such as books, magazines, and editorial layouts. The strong, blocky serifs also hold up well in headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or labels that benefit from a confident, traditional voice.
The tone is practical and authoritative, with a classic, print-oriented voice. Its chunky serifs and stable proportions give it a dependable, slightly old-style editorial feel—serious without becoming ornate.
The typeface appears designed to deliver a durable, highly legible slab-serif texture for print-like settings, combining strong serifs with softened joins to remain comfortable in continuous text while still projecting weight and presence.
The design leans on strong horizontal stress and substantial feet, producing a dense, even typographic color in paragraphs. Details like the short, firm serifs and squared terminals add a subtle industrial edge while the curved brackets keep it from feeling rigid.
