A sturdy slab serif with broad proportions, low stroke modulation, and prominent, square-shouldered serifs that read as lightly bracketed rather than razor-sharp. The curves are generously rounded and the joins feel slightly softened, giving the forms a sturdy, printed texture. Counters are open and the overall color is even, with a solid baseline and steady vertical stress. Numerals are large and clear, matching the weight and presence of the letters for consistent set text and display use.
Works well for headlines, posters, book covers, and branding that benefits from a strong, traditional voice. The sturdy slabs and open forms make it suitable for short passages and pull quotes where you want a bold, authoritative texture without high-contrast delicacy.
The tone is practical and confident, with a classic, slightly industrial editorial flavor. Its heavy serifs and blunt terminals evoke vintage printing and headline typography, while the rounded details keep it approachable rather than severe.
Likely designed to deliver a dependable slab-serif presence with strong readability and a recognizable, print-rooted character. The wide stance and softened details suggest an emphasis on impact and durability in both display settings and prominent text.
Round characters (C, G, O, Q) show smooth, continuous bowls with substantial terminals, and the serif treatment stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The overall rhythm feels stable and legible, with distinct shapes that avoid spindly details and hold up well at larger sizes.
