A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions, low stroke contrast, and squared, blocky serifs that read clearly at text sizes. Strokes are generally uniform and the joins feel firm, with modest rounding and slight bracketing where stems meet serifs. Counters are open and generous, and the overall rhythm is steady rather than delicate, giving the letters a solid, workmanlike presence. Numerals follow the same utilitarian construction, with straightforward curves and strong horizontal terminals.
Works well for editorial layouts, reading text, and headlines that need a strong typographic backbone. Its sturdy serifs and even color also suit packaging, institutional branding, and signage where clarity and a grounded tone are priorities.
The tone is practical and dependable, evoking office forms, newspapers, and utilitarian print. Its blunt slabs and even color feel authoritative and a bit mechanical, suggesting straightforward communication over ornament.
This design appears intended as a plain, dependable slab for everyday typography—prioritizing legibility, firmness, and an even page color. The broad set proportions and strong serifs aim to deliver a confident voice suitable for both text and display without relying on decorative quirks.
In the sample text the face maintains consistent texture across mixed case, with capitals that feel substantial and lowercase that stays clear without becoming spindly. The spacing and heavy terminals contribute to a slightly stamped or typed impression while still reading like a contemporary text slab.
