A robust slab serif with heavy, rectangular serifs and sturdy vertical stems. The shapes are largely rational and unornamented, with moderate apertures and round forms that stay fairly compact, producing an even, workmanlike texture. Serifs read as mostly square with subtle bracketing in places, and the overall rhythm favors strong horizontals and clear terminals. Uppercase and numerals feel solid and stable; lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable structure with a simple single-storey g and a clean, compact e.
Works best for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where a strong typographic voice is desired. Its sturdy construction also suits posters, packaging, and signage applications that benefit from a firm, traditional slab-serif presence.
The tone is dependable and no-nonsense, conveying strength and clarity rather than delicacy. It suggests practical printing traditions—confident, slightly industrial, and well-suited to assertive messaging where readability is paramount.
Likely designed as a plainspoken slab serif for general-purpose display and editorial use, prioritizing solidity, legibility, and consistent texture. The overall construction aims for a familiar, reliable look that reads confidently across a range of sizes.
In text settings the weight and slab serifs create a pronounced, steady line that holds up well at larger sizes and in short paragraphs. The letterforms avoid quirky detailing, keeping the emphasis on consistent color and clear word shapes, while the chunky serifs add a recognizable editorial presence.
