A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed, blocky serifs and mostly even stroke weight. The shapes are compact and steady, with generous counters and open apertures that keep letters clear at text sizes. Curves are smooth and slightly softened, while terminals and serifs feel squared but not sharp, giving the face a friendly, durable texture. Numerals are straightforward and highly readable, matching the letterforms’ solid, consistent rhythm.
Well-suited for body text in print and editorial layouts where a firm, readable texture is needed. It also works effectively for headlines, captions, and labeling, and can lend a trustworthy, traditional voice to packaging and signage-style applications.
The overall tone is dependable and practical, with a classic editorial feel. It suggests utility and authority without feeling severe, thanks to the softened joins and rounded details.
The design appears aimed at delivering a practical slab-serif for everyday typography—clear, sturdy letterforms with a familiar structure that performs reliably in longer passages while still carrying enough presence for display use.
The sample text shows an even color across lines and stable spacing that supports continuous reading. Uppercase forms feel robust and steady, while lowercase maintains a clear, no-nonsense structure that prioritizes legibility over ornament.
