A sturdy slab-serif with broad, blocky, mostly bracketed serifs and low stroke contrast. The drawing favors squarish proportions and firm terminals, with rounded joins that keep curves from feeling brittle. Counters are open and the rhythm is steady, producing a dependable texture in text. Details like the compact joins and slightly notched or tapered intersections in places (notably around diagonals and joins) add a subtle pragmatic, print-minded finish without becoming decorative.
Well-suited for editorial typography where a firm, readable voice is needed, including headlines, subheads, and pull quotes. The strong serifs and sturdy construction also make it a good fit for signage, labels, and packaging that benefit from a dependable, classic slab-serif presence.
The tone is solid and workmanlike, leaning traditional and institutional. It reads as confident and straightforward—more about clarity and durability than refinement—while still carrying a mild vintage editorial flavor typical of slab serifs.
The design appears intended as a practical, all-purpose slab serif that delivers clear letterforms and a confident texture in both short display lines and longer reading. It prioritizes solidity and consistency, with small structural nuances to enhance clarity and reproduction.
The figures are bold and highly legible, with simple forms that hold up well at display sizes and remain readable in paragraphs. Overall spacing appears moderate, keeping the text sample dense but not cramped.
