A sturdy slab-serif with flat, square-ended serifs and blunt terminals throughout. Strokes are largely even, producing a steady texture with minimal contrast and a calm vertical stress. The capitals feel traditional and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows a tall x-height and open counters that keep words readable at text sizes. Curves are generously rounded but finish in crisp joins, giving the design a firm, engineered rhythm rather than a calligraphic one. Numerals are clear and straightforward, matching the overall pragmatic construction.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and other long-form reading contexts where a firm serif texture is desirable. It also works effectively for headlines, labels, and signage that benefit from strong, square serifs and clear letterforms.
The overall tone is grounded and dependable, with a no-nonsense, editorial presence. Its bold, blocky serif treatment adds a touch of institutional seriousness—suggesting printed matter, signage, and utilitarian typography—while remaining approachable and legible.
The design appears intended to deliver a practical, highly legible slab-serif voice with a strong typographic color and clean, square finishing. It balances traditional letter proportions with a more industrial serif treatment to support both continuous reading and emphatic display use.
The sample text shows an even color across lines with stable spacing and a consistent slab logic across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The flat terminals and strong serifs give the face a confident footprint, especially in headlines, without relying on high contrast for emphasis.
