A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed, rectangular serifs and a largely even stroke color. The letterforms lean classic and text-oriented, with generous widths, open counters, and clear interior shapes that keep paragraphs readable. Terminals are mostly blunt and squared, with subtle rounding where strokes join, producing a solid, consistent rhythm. Numerals follow the same robust construction, with strong verticals and stable, straightforward shapes.
This face suits editorial settings such as books, magazines, and reports where a firm slab-serif voice is desired. It can also work well for branding and packaging that needs a dependable, heritage-leaning tone, and for headings or pull quotes that benefit from its strong, stable serifs.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, evoking book typography and newspaper practicality rather than sleek modern minimalism. Its bold, blocky serifs add a sense of authority and permanence, giving the face an editorial, institutional feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif for text and display use, emphasizing clarity, sturdy construction, and a traditional print sensibility while maintaining a consistent, economical rhythm in longer passages.
Across the sample text, the texture stays steady and dark without becoming brittle, and the wide proportions help prevent dense passages from feeling cramped. Capital forms read prominently and structured, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian character suitable for continuous reading.
