A robust slab serif with bracketed, blocky serifs and an even, low-contrast stroke structure. Curves are broad and full, with softened joins that keep the overall texture calm rather than sharp. Proportions feel moderately compact with sturdy verticals and generous counters, creating a dense, steady rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals and capitals carry a strong, planted stance that holds up well at display sizes while remaining coherent in text.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and short text blocks where a firm, confident presence is needed. It can also serve branding and packaging that benefit from a traditional, trustworthy slab-serif tone, and it holds together in editorial layouts where even texture and strong letterforms are valued.
The font communicates a dependable, no-nonsense tone with a familiar, traditional voice. Its heavy slabs and stable rhythm suggest practicality and authority, evoking classic editorial and institutional typography without feeling ornate.
Designed to deliver a solid, versatile slab-serif voice with reliable readability and a strong silhouette. The emphasis appears to be on consistent texture, sturdy serifs, and broadly compatible letterforms for everyday display and editorial use.
Uppercase forms read block-forward and grounded, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, readable construction that maintains consistent color across lines. The overall impression is of a workmanlike slab with enough softness in the bracketing to avoid a mechanical feel.
