A robust slab-serif with broad, square-shouldered serifs and largely unbracketed joins. Strokes are steady and low-contrast, producing an even, weighty texture with clear vertical emphasis. Counters are fairly open, terminals tend to end flat, and the overall construction favors crisp, geometric edges over calligraphic modulation. Proportions feel traditional but solid, with confident capitals and compact, workmanlike lowercase shapes that maintain clarity at text sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a firm, ink-on-paper presence is desired, including magazines, books, and long-form reading at comfortable sizes. It also performs strongly in headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or labeling where robust serifs help maintain structure and impact.
The tone is dependable and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial and print-forward character. Its sturdy slabs and even rhythm suggest practicality and trust, while the classic proportions keep it familiar and readable.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif voice that reads confidently in continuous text while scaling effectively to display settings. Its emphasis on square terminals, stable stroke weight, and clear letterforms prioritizes consistency and legibility over flourish.
The bold slab presence creates strong word shapes and a noticeable headline footprint without becoming decorative. Numerals appear straightforward and consistent in color, matching the typeface’s utilitarian, no-nonsense rhythm.
