A sturdy slab-serif with square, mostly unbracketed serifs and clean, flat terminals that give the letterforms a crisp, constructed feel. Strokes are relatively even with minimal contrast, and the overall rhythm is calm and steady, with moderate proportions and straightforward shapes. Capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase shows clear, readable forms—single-storey a and g, a compact t with a broad crossbar, and a simple, workmanlike r. Numerals are plain and legible, matching the same square-ended, slab-driven detailing.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine work where a steady, readable serif texture is needed. It also performs confidently in headlines, posters, and branding systems that want a classic voice with a slightly utilitarian slab-serif backbone.
The tone reads traditional and dependable, with an old-style, bookish confidence rather than a decorative flourish. Its slab structure adds a subtly industrial practicality, while the restrained detailing keeps it appropriate for serious, information-forward typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a reliable, highly readable slab-serif voice—combining traditional serif conventions with square, no-nonsense terminals for a pragmatic, print-friendly texture.
The forms lean on strong horizontals and squared-off finishes, which helps maintain clarity at smaller sizes and gives headings a firm, anchored presence. Curves (like C, O, and S) remain smooth but are visually “held” by the slab terminals, reinforcing a stable texture across lines.
