A sturdy slab serif with blocky, bracketed serifs and mostly square-ended terminals. Strokes are fairly even with moderate contrast and clear, stable verticals, giving the letters a grounded, architectural feel. The proportions are balanced and readable, with a normal x-height, open counters, and slightly rounded curves that keep the forms from feeling rigid. Numerals and capitals sit with a steady rhythm and consistent weight, producing a confident, print-forward texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a firm, classic voice is needed—magazines, reports, and book interiors—especially at text and subhead sizes. The strong slab serifs also make it effective for headlines, packaging, and straightforward signage where durability and clarity are priorities.
The overall tone is dependable and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that reads as established and credible. Its robust slab serifs add a subtle industrial practicality, while the restrained contrast keeps it calm rather than flashy.
Likely designed to provide a practical slab-serif alternative for everyday reading and display, combining strong serifs for presence with controlled contrast and open forms for legibility across a range of sizes.
In text, the face maintains a strong horizontal emphasis from the serifs and flat terminals, creating a sturdy line of type. The lowercase shows clear differentiation between similar shapes and a solid, no-nonsense drawing that supports sustained reading.
