A sturdy slab serif with broad proportions and a calm, even rhythm. Strokes are low-contrast and largely uniform, with bold, square-ended slabs and terminals that read cleanly at display sizes. The letterforms favor open counters and generous spacing, with a straightforward, upright construction and a slightly heavy baseline presence. Numerals are robust and clear, matching the capitals’ width and the face’s overall solid geometry.
Best suited to headlines and short text where a strong, grounded serif voice is needed—magazine titles, section heads, posters, and packaging callouts. Its open shapes and sturdy details also make it a viable choice for signage and interface labels where clarity and presence matter.
The overall tone is confident and no-nonsense, with a practical, established feel. Its blocky slabs and broad stance suggest authority and reliability, evoking editorial and institutional typography rather than delicate or expressive styling.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, dependable slab-serif voice with clean, squared finishing and consistent texture. It prioritizes legibility and impact through broad proportions, sturdy serifs, and restrained contrast, aiming for a classic yet pragmatic display-and-text workhorse feel.
The silhouette stays consistent across cases, with lowercase forms that remain compact and sturdy rather than airy. The squared terminals and strong serifs create a clear horizontal emphasis, helping headings feel grounded and emphatic.
