A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, blocky serifs and generally squared-off terminals. Strokes are fairly even in thickness with minimal modulation, creating a solid, consistent texture in both caps and lowercase. Proportions are moderately wide with ample counters and clear internal space, while the capitals read large and authoritative. Details like the heavy top bar on T, the strong verticals in H and I, and the compact, robust joins in n/m reinforce a utilitarian, print-oriented rhythm.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where strong serifs and a steady texture help anchor a layout. It also fits posters, packaging, and brand marks that want a solid, traditional slab-serif voice. In longer passages it maintains legibility and an even reading rhythm, particularly in print-like settings.
The overall tone is traditional and reliable, with a no-nonsense, editorial sensibility. Its bold slab presence conveys stability and clarity, leaning toward classic institutional and publishing contexts rather than decorative or playful moods.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif with clear, sturdy forms and strong typographic authority. Its emphasis on even stroke weight, squared terminals, and generous counters suggests a focus on legibility and consistent texture across display and text sizes.
Numerals are substantial and highly legible, matching the letterforms in weight and presence; round forms like 0 and 8 stay open and balanced, while angular forms like 4 and 7 feel crisp and mechanical. The text sample shows steady word shapes and consistent spacing, producing a strong, even color across lines.
