A sturdy slab-serif with low stroke contrast and broad proportions. Serifs are bold and mostly square-ended, with slight bracketing that softens joins into the stems. Curves are round and open, counters are generous, and vertical strokes read confidently with a steady rhythm. Uppercase forms feel solid and formal, while the lowercase stays clear and un-fussy, with compact details and straightforward punctuation-like shaping in the joints and terminals.
Well-suited to editorial headlines and subheads, book and magazine typography, and brand systems that need a dependable, established tone. Its sturdy slabs also translate well to packaging and poster work where a grounded, high-impact serif presence is desired.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, balancing classic print sensibility with a no-nonsense, contemporary solidity. It conveys reliability and authority without feeling ornate, giving text an editorial, institutional voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a practical slab-serif voice with strong presence and consistent readability, prioritizing sturdy structure, clear counters, and an even typographic texture for display and text-forward applications.
The font maintains a consistent, even color in paragraph settings, with strong horizontal cues from the slab serifs that help anchor lines. Numerals appear wide and stable, matching the typeface’s blocky, grounded construction and reinforcing a utilitarian, legible texture.
