A sturdy slab-serif with broad, squared serifs and largely monoline strokes that keep contrast low. The letterforms are upright with compact proportions and a steady, even rhythm; capitals read solid and blocky while the lowercase maintains clear counters and straightforward construction. Serifs tend to be short and firm, with mostly flat-ended terminals that reinforce a sturdy texture in text. Numerals are bold and open, matching the same slabbed, no-nonsense geometry for consistent color across mixed copy.
Works well for editorial typography—headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and lead paragraphs—where a strong, readable serif presence is desired. It can also support branding or packaging that needs a traditional, dependable tone, and holds up effectively in print where its slab serifs and sturdy strokes maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels dependable and editorial, with a classic, bookish authority. Its robust slabs and restrained detailing suggest seriousness and clarity rather than delicacy, giving text a confident, established voice.
Likely designed to provide a practical, highly readable slab-serif voice with a firm, structured texture. The emphasis on squared serifs, low contrast, and straightforward shapes suggests an intention to perform reliably in continuous text while still delivering a bold editorial character.
In paragraph settings the face builds a dark, even texture with strong horizontal emphasis from the serifs. The forms favor legibility and stability over calligraphic nuance, making it feel well-suited to structured layouts and information-forward typography.
