A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions and a steady, even color. Strokes stay largely uniform with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as blocky, squared-off slabs that reinforce the horizontal rhythm. Curves are generously rounded but kept taut, while joins and terminals tend toward crisp, flattened endings. The lowercase shows a straightforward, workmanlike structure with a moderate x-height and open counters that keep text clear at reading sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography—magazines, books, and reports—where a durable slab serif can carry long text while still offering personality. It also performs strongly in headlines and posters, and can lend dependable presence to packaging or brand systems that want a grounded, print-forward feel.
The overall tone feels pragmatic and confident, with an industrial straightforwardness that also nods to vintage print and typewriter-adjacent editorial textures. Its square serifs and solid stance give it an authoritative, no-nonsense voice without becoming overly formal.
Likely intended as a versatile slab serif that balances robustness with readability, delivering a strong page color and clear letterforms for both display and text settings. The design emphasizes stable geometry and square serif cues to project reliability and punch in print-like layouts.
Spacing appears comfortable and text holds together with a consistent rhythm, supporting longer passages. The numerals and capitals share the same sturdy slab logic, helping mixed-content settings look cohesive.
