A sturdy slab serif with clear, bracketed serifs and a steady, even rhythm. Strokes are fairly uniform, with gentle modulation and rounded joins that soften the otherwise blocky silhouette. Capitals are wide and stable with generous interior space, while lowercase forms stay straightforward and readable, including a two-storey “a” and a single-storey “g.” Numerals are proportional and text-like, matching the letterforms’ grounded, workmanlike construction.
Well-suited to paragraphs, magazine or newspaper-style layouts, and other editorial settings where a firm, readable serif is needed. Its robust slab serifs also make it effective for packaging, labels, and straightforward signage, holding up well in medium-size typography.
The overall tone is practical and dependable, with an industrial, utilitarian flavor reminiscent of traditional printing and typewriter-era slabs. It feels matter-of-fact rather than decorative, projecting clarity and resilience.
The design appears aimed at a no-nonsense slab serif for everyday use, balancing strong serifs with comfortable spacing and open shapes to stay readable in continuous text while retaining a solid, authoritative presence.
Serifs are prominent without becoming heavy, and the shapes maintain consistent color in running text. Apertures and counters remain open, helping legibility at typical reading sizes, while slightly rounded terminals keep the texture from feeling overly rigid.
