A sturdy slab serif with clearly bracketed, rectangular serifs and a consistent, even rhythm. Strokes stay fairly uniform with gentle modulation, and many terminals are softly rounded where strokes meet serifs, giving a slightly softened mechanical feel. Letterforms are broadly proportioned with open counters and ample internal space, and the set reads cleanly with straightforward, no-nonsense shapes across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to editorial typography where a firm, grounded serif is desirable—such as magazines, books, and long-form layouts at comfortable sizes. It can also serve in headlines and posters when you want a bold, stable typographic voice without moving into overtly decorative territory.
The overall tone is workmanlike and traditional, suggesting reliability rather than display flair. Its slab structure lends an industrial and editorial character, while the softened brackets keep it approachable instead of harsh.
Likely designed as a straightforward, versatile slab serif aimed at dependable readability and a solid typographic color, balancing robust serifs with softened detailing to stay friendly in continuous reading.
In the sample text the heavy serifs create strong horizontal anchoring and clear word shapes at larger sizes, with a sturdy texture that remains even across lines. The numerals match the same slab logic and feel integrated with the alphabet rather than stylistically separate.
