A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed, squared-off serifs and a consistent, workmanlike rhythm. Strokes are fairly even with modest contrast, producing dark, stable word shapes without feeling heavy. Counters are open and rounded, terminals are clean, and the overall construction stays conservative and highly regular across caps, lowercase, and figures, supporting clear texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to long-form reading in editorial layouts, books, and instructional material where a firm serif texture helps guide the eye. It also works effectively in headings, captions, and functional typography such as reports, forms, and straightforward signage where clarity and consistency matter.
The font conveys a dependable, no-nonsense tone with an understated classic feel. Its confident slabs and steady proportions read as practical and familiar, leaning more toward clarity and authority than personality-driven display styling.
The design appears intended as a practical slab-serif for everyday typography: strong enough to remain clear in dense text, restrained enough to stay neutral, and consistent across glyphs to produce a stable, predictable typographic color.
Capitals show broad, grounded footing from the slab serifs, while the lowercase maintains straightforward forms with a legible, traditional structure and clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals match the same sturdy voice, with simple, readable forms that sit comfortably alongside the letters.
