A sturdy slab-serif with blocky, bracketed serifs and softly rounded corners that give the strokes an inked, slightly stamped look. The design keeps contrast low and rhythm even, with generous counters and a calm, upright stance. Curves are full and somewhat squarish in places, and joins show subtle swelling and tapering that reads as practical rather than polished. Numerals and capitals feel solid and grounded, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation and steady spacing in text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, articles, and general body copy where a firm slab-serif voice is desired. It also works effectively for headlines, book or magazine covers, and packaging that benefits from a traditional, sturdy typographic texture.
The overall tone is classic and workmanlike, evoking dependable print typography with a hint of vintage machinery and newspaper grit. It feels confident and straightforward, more rugged than elegant, and carries a familiar, traditional warmth suitable for reading-heavy settings.
This font appears intended as a dependable, plainspoken slab serif for everyday typography—prioritizing legibility and durability, with just enough rounded, inked detail to feel tactile and printed rather than sterile.
In the text sample, the heavier slab serifs and rounded joins remain distinct without becoming sharp, helping the face hold up well at display-to-text sizes. Widths vary naturally across glyphs, creating a traditional, proportional texture rather than a rigid, engineered one.
