A sturdy slab-serif with rectangular, mostly square-ended serifs and an even, steady stroke. The letterforms show moderate proportions and a calm rhythm, with fairly generous spacing and clear counters that keep text open. Serifs read as solid blocks with slight rounding/bracketing into the stems, and terminals stay blunt rather than tapered. Numerals follow the same straightforward, printed construction, giving the set a consistent, utilitarian texture.
Works well for extended reading in editorial contexts such as books, magazines, and reports where a robust serif presence is desired. It can also support headings, pull quotes, and packaging copy when you want a grounded, print-forward voice with clear letter differentiation.
The overall tone is dependable and bookish, combining a classic print feel with a slightly industrial sturdiness. It conveys clarity and authority without feeling ornate, making it comfortable and familiar in longer reading settings.
Likely intended as a practical slab-serif for text-forward typography, emphasizing consistent texture, clear forms, and a sturdy serif structure that holds up across paragraphs and mixed alphanumeric content.
Capitals appear formal and stable, while lowercase shapes remain uncomplicated and highly legible, producing an even color in paragraphs. Curves (like C/O/S) stay smooth and controlled, balancing the more rectilinear serif treatment so the face doesn’t feel rigid.
