A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions and a calm, even stroke weight. Serifs are square and largely unbracketed, creating firm terminals and a crisp, engineered silhouette. Curves are rounded but restrained, with generous interior spaces and open apertures that keep the forms readable despite the heavy horizontal presence. The overall rhythm feels steady and structured, with clear joins and a consistent, workmanlike geometry across letters and numerals.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where a solid, authoritative presence is needed. It can also serve editorial layouts and practical signage where clarity and a structured texture are desired, and it has enough character for packaging or branding that aims for a dependable, traditional voice.
The tone is dependable and matter-of-fact, leaning toward institutional and editorial traditions rather than decorative flair. Its blocky slabs and wide stance convey confidence and stability, with a subtle vintage/press-like flavor that suggests practical communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, highly legible slab-serif voice with emphatic terminals and wide letterforms, balancing utilitarian clarity with a hint of classic print-era character.
In text, the strong horizontal serifs create prominent baselines and caplines, giving paragraphs a grounded, banded texture. Numerals appear straightforward and sturdy, matching the letters in width and visual weight for consistent typographic color.
