A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, mostly squared serifs and subtle bracketing that softens the joins. Strokes read as solid and even, with only modest thick–thin modulation, creating a firm, consistent texture in text. The capitals are broad and blocky with generous interior spaces, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, legible build and a normal x-height. Curves are round but controlled, terminals are clean and blunt, and spacing feels open enough to hold up at display sizes while remaining steady in paragraphs.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where a confident slab presence is desirable. It can also serve editorial layouts, branding, and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, traditional-yet-neutral serif tone.
The overall tone is assertive and dependable, leaning toward classic editorial and utilitarian printing. Its slab structure adds authority and a slightly vintage, newsroom-like flavor without becoming ornamental.
Likely designed to deliver an authoritative slab-serif voice with strong readability and a stable typographic color, balancing classic print cues with clean, contemporary drawing.
In the sample text, the heavy slab serifs create a strong baseline and a rhythmic, slightly mechanical cadence. Numerals and punctuation maintain the same robust, squared-off logic, supporting a cohesive, no-nonsense voice across mixed content.
