A sturdy slab-serif with square, unbracketed serifs and a low-contrast stroke structure that stays even across curves and straights. Terminals are blunt and crisp, giving the letters a firm, engineered feel, while the overall rhythm reads slightly expansive with generous counters and clear interior space. Uppercase forms are solid and stately; lowercase characters show straightforward construction with a single-storey g and a simple, readable a, keeping the texture consistent in continuous text. Numerals are similarly robust and open, matching the serif treatment and maintaining a stable baseline presence.
It performs well for editorial typography where a firm, readable texture is needed, such as magazines, reports, and book interiors. The strong serifs and steady color also make it effective for headlines, signage-style callouts, and brand systems that want a dependable, classic voice.
The tone is pragmatic and authoritative, combining a classic, workmanlike slab-serif voice with a composed editorial polish. It suggests reliability and tradition without feeling ornate, making it well suited to messaging that needs weight and clarity rather than delicacy.
The font appears designed to deliver a no-nonsense slab-serif reading experience: stable, low-contrast forms with crisp, square serifs that hold up in print-like settings. Its construction prioritizes consistency and legibility while retaining enough character for display use.
The design favors clarity at text sizes: wide apertures and stable joins help prevent dark spots, and the slab serifs provide strong horizontal emphasis that supports line-to-line readability. The overall color is even, with minimal stroke modulation and a consistent serif footprint across the alphabet and figures.
