A robust slab-serif with square, bracketless serifs and a strong, even stroke weight. The forms are wide-set with generous counters, producing an open, steady texture. Curves are smooth but restrained, while joins and terminals tend toward squared, flat endings that emphasize structure. Proportions feel traditional and bookish, with crisp serifs and consistent rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, book typography, and headline settings where a firm slab-serif voice is desired. It also performs effectively in posters and branding that need a classic, trustworthy tone and strong typographic presence.
The overall tone is confident and dependable, with a sober, no-nonsense presence. Its sturdy slabs and open shapes evoke editorial and institutional typography, leaning more toward clarity and authority than delicacy or play.
The design appears intended as a practical slab-serif for readable, assertive typography—pairing traditional letterforms with bold, squared serifs to deliver stable color and clear, confident emphasis.
Capitals have a solid, monumental stance, while the lowercase maintains legibility through clear apertures and sturdy stems. Numerals match the text weight well and read cleanly at display and text sizes, reinforcing a cohesive, workhorse character.
