This typeface is a sturdy slab-serif with bracketed, rectangular serifs and clearly differentiated thick and thin strokes. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with generous widths and open counters, producing an even, readable texture in text. Curves are smoothly drawn with a slightly softened feel at joins, while terminals and serifs remain crisp and blocky. Capitals carry a confident, structured silhouette, and the lowercase maintains clear, traditional shapes with steady rhythm and solid baseline presence.
It performs well in editorial typography where a strong, legible serif voice is needed, especially for headlines, decks, and pull quotes. The wide proportions and sturdy slabs also make it suitable for posters and straightforward signage where clarity and presence are priorities.
The overall tone feels dependable and editorial, with a classic, utilitarian confidence. Its slab construction reads as grounded and workmanlike rather than delicate, suggesting a straightforward voice suited to serious, information-forward settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif texture with dependable readability and strong typographic authority. It balances traditional serif conventions with a robust, contemporary sturdiness suited to both display and text-forward layouts.
Numerals are robust and clear, matching the slab-serif vocabulary and maintaining strong figure recognition. In paragraph setting, the font builds a dark, stable color with consistent spacing and a firm typographic “set,” emphasizing clarity over ornament.
