A sturdy slab-serif with blocky, square-ended serifs and largely monolinear strokes. The capitals are broad and steady with clear, rectangular terminals, while the lowercase shows traditional slab construction with a two-storey “a,” a single-storey “g,” and a strong, compact “t.” Curves are rounded but controlled, with open counters and a consistent rhythm that stays crisp in both isolated glyphs and running text. Numerals are solid and straightforward, matching the font’s squared-off finishing and overall even color.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial passages where a strong, legible serif is desired. The sturdy slabs and open forms also translate well to posters, packaging, and signage where clarity and a confident voice matter.
The overall tone is confident and practical, projecting a dependable, workmanlike character without feeling harsh. Its slab details and wide stance add a mildly retro, print-minded flavor that reads as approachable and editorial rather than delicate or ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a reliable, no-nonsense slab-serif voice with strong structure and high legibility in display and text settings. Its squared terminals and broad proportions suggest an aim for impact and steadiness while keeping reading flow smooth.
The design maintains a consistent vertical stress and a stable baseline presence, with terminals that remain flat and decisive across letters and figures. In text, the even stroke weight and open shapes support clear word forms and a calm, steady texture.
