A robust slab-serif with flat, square-ended serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The design reads as broad in proportion, with generous horizontal space and open counters that keep forms clear at text sizes. Serifs are mostly unbracketed and blunt, giving a sturdy, engineered feel, while curves (C, O, G, Q, e) stay smooth and rounded against the angular terminals. Details like the two-storey a and g, a compact ear on g, and a straightforward, mostly vertical stress contribute to an even, disciplined rhythm across lines.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine text, and pull quotes where a sturdy slab presence is desirable. Its broad proportions and blunt terminals also work effectively for branding, packaging, and headings that need a confident, pragmatic voice, and for straightforward signage and informational display.
The tone is solid and workmanlike, balancing a classic print sensibility with a mildly retro, institutional character. It feels dependable rather than delicate, projecting clarity and authority without becoming overly formal or ornate.
Likely designed to deliver a clear, durable slab-serif texture that holds up in continuous reading while still providing enough heft for headings. The emphasis on square terminals, open forms, and restrained detailing suggests an intention to feel practical, legible, and visually steady across a range of sizes.
The numerals appear clear and evenly weighted, with simple shapes and stable baselines that suit informational settings. Uppercase forms maintain a calm, stately presence, while the lowercase keeps readability through open apertures and plainly drawn joins, avoiding fussy modulation.
