A robust slab-serif with heavy, block-like serifs and a compact, workmanlike construction. Strokes are fairly even with modest contrast, and terminals finish in squared, bracketed slabs that create a steady, horizontal rhythm. Counters are open and generously shaped for a bold cut, while curves (C, G, O, S) stay controlled and slightly squared-off in feel. The lowercase shows a straightforward, readable structure with a two-storey a and a single-storey g, plus sturdy stems and broad shoulders that keep texture consistent in paragraphs.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where a firm, classic slab voice is needed, and it also holds up in editorial settings for short passages or pull quotes thanks to its open counters and even texture. Its sturdy serifs and strong numerals make it a good fit for posters, labeling, and packaging that benefit from a straightforward, authoritative look.
The overall tone is pragmatic and assertive, with a traditional print sensibility. It reads as dependable and editorial rather than decorative, projecting clarity and authority without feeling delicate or mannered.
The design appears intended as a solid, general-purpose slab serif that prioritizes legibility and consistent texture, delivering a confident typographic color for both display and text-adjacent use.
Numerals are strong and legible with prominent slabs and stable proportions, matching the weight and cadence of the letters. The design maintains consistent color across mixed-case settings, making it comfortable for dense lines of text while still carrying noticeable typographic presence.
