A sturdy slab-serif with robust, bracketed serifs and clearly defined corners. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with verticals reading stronger than horizontals and terminals finishing in firm slabs that give the letterforms a grounded, architectural feel. Counters are open and shapes are generally round and generous, while joins and interior corners show small cut-ins that add crispness and help keep forms from clogging at text sizes. Spacing feels even and the overall rhythm is steady, with a slightly expansive set that supports readability in lines of text.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazines, newspapers, and book interiors where a stable, readable texture is needed. It also suits branding and institutional materials that benefit from sturdy, traditional slab-serif cues, and performs confidently in headlines and subheads where the strong serifs can anchor the line.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a confident, editorial presence. Its strong slabs and measured contrast evoke print traditions—newspaper, book, and institutional typography—without feeling overly delicate or ornamental. The result is dependable and serious, suited to messaging that needs clarity and weight.
This design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice that bridges text utility and display strength. The strong slabs and controlled contrast aim for clarity and authority, while small interior refinements help maintain legibility and consistency across mixed-case settings.
The numerals and capitals carry a solid, sign-like presence, while the lowercase maintains a readable, text-forward texture. Rounded letters (like O/C) keep a smooth silhouette, contrasted by flat, emphatic serifs on E/F/T and strong diagonals on V/W/X, producing a balanced mix of softness and structure.
