This typeface presents a sturdy slab-serif construction with flat, square-ended serifs and largely unbracketed joins. Strokes are clean and fairly even, with enough contrast to give counters and joins definition without feeling delicate. Proportions read as generously set and open, with broad capitals and readable lowercase forms; round letters are smoothly drawn while maintaining a firm, structured outline. Terminals and serifs stay consistent across the set, producing a steady, print-like rhythm in both the alphabet grid and the paragraph sample.
It suits editorial headlines and subheads where a firm, trustworthy tone is needed, and it also works well for posters and branding that benefit from bold, structured letterforms. The steady texture in the sample paragraph suggests it can handle short-to-medium passages in print-forward layouts, especially when a classic slab-serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a pragmatic, workmanlike feel typical of strong slab serifs. It suggests an editorial voice—serious and legible—while the squared serifs add a subtle industrial crispness rather than calligraphic warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, dependable slab-serif look with crisp, square serifs and consistent drawing, balancing traditional readability with a slightly mechanical, structured character.
The numerals appear clear and substantial, matching the letterforms’ strong baseline presence. In the sample text, spacing and color hold together evenly, giving paragraphs a solid, composed texture that stays readable at larger text sizes.
