A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, square-ended serifs and a consistent, low-contrast stroke weight. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with generous horizontal presence and clear, rectangular stem-and-serif joins that read as slightly bracketed rather than razor-sharp. Curves are full and controlled (notably in C, G, O, and S), while verticals and horizontals maintain an even, matter-of-fact rhythm. Numerals are bold and stable, with simple, open shapes designed for clarity at display and text-adjacent sizes.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where a strong, traditional slab presence is desirable, and it can also carry short paragraphs in editorial layouts when a sturdy, print-like texture is wanted. Its bold numerals and clear caps make it a good fit for posters, book covers, and branding systems that need an authoritative, classic voice.
The overall tone is solid and dependable, evoking classic print typography and a no-nonsense editorial voice. Its weighty slabs and steady rhythm convey authority and practicality more than delicacy or playfulness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif feel with modern consistency: firm serifs, even color, and broad proportions that stay legible and impactful across a range of display-to-reading sizes.
Spacing appears comfortable and consistent, supporting dense copy without looking cramped. The lowercase has straightforward construction with a clear, readable silhouette, and the design keeps ornamentation minimal, relying on strong serifs and broad proportions for character.
