A sturdy slab serif with squared, bracketless serifs and clean, flat terminals. Strokes are generally even with slightly emphasized horizontals and a compact, steady rhythm that keeps counters open and letterforms legible. Round letters are smoothly drawn but controlled, with firm joins and a consistent, print-oriented texture; numerals are clear and straightforward with strong vertical emphasis.
Well-suited to editorial layouts where a robust serif texture is desired, from magazines and newspapers to book interiors. It also works for headlines, captions, and packaging or brand systems that need a classic, dependable voice with strong typographic presence.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking textbook, newspaper, and institutional typography. Its firm slabs and no-nonsense construction read as dependable and pragmatic rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a familiar slab-serif feel that prints crisply and holds up across sizes, combining classic proportions with firm, squared serifs for a confident reading experience.
Capitals show a balanced, conservative structure with generous interior space, while lowercase maintains a practical, readable profile with prominent serifs that anchor lines of text. The design keeps contrast and detailing restrained, prioritizing clarity and a stable, even color in paragraphs.
