A sturdy slab-serif with square, bracketless serifs and clear, rectilinear terminals. Strokes feel even and grounded with moderate contrast, combining broad verticals with slightly finer joins for a crisp texture. Proportions are fairly compact in the capitals while the lowercase shows a tall x-height, helping counters stay open and readable. Curves (C, O, S) are smooth but controlled, and the overall rhythm is steady and consistent across letters and numerals.
It performs well in editorial typography where a robust serif texture is desired, from magazines to long-form reading at comfortable sizes. The strong slab serifs also make it effective for headlines, posters, and branding that needs a classic but assertive presence.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with a utilitarian clarity that reads as editorial and institutional. Its blocky serifs and upright stance give it a confident, no-nonsense voice suited to structured communication.
The design appears intended to deliver dependable readability with a strong, structured serif silhouette—combining traditional serif conventions with squarer, more architectural terminals for a firm typographic voice.
The numerals are clear and sturdy, matching the letterforms with squared terminals and an overall pragmatic feel. Round letters maintain ample interior space, and the font’s consistent serif treatment keeps lines of text visually organized in paragraph settings.
