A sturdy slab-serif with substantial, squared serifs and mostly even stroke weight. Serifs are generally bracketed into the stems, softening the joins and giving the letterforms a slightly rounded, workmanlike finish rather than a sharp mechanical cut. Proportions are balanced with clear, open counters and straightforward curves; the overall texture stays steady across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Details like the footed “1,” the broad “0,” and the robust bowls reinforce a solid, print-friendly rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a firm, classic voice is needed, from headlines and subheads to comfortable reading sizes in print-oriented layouts. It can also support branding and packaging that benefit from a trustworthy, established feel, and works effectively for short UI or signage copy when a strong, grounded serif is desired.
The tone is dependable and traditional, with an authoritative, no-nonsense presence. It suggests editorial practicality and institutional clarity rather than fashion-forward display, projecting stability and familiarity.
Likely intended as a practical slab-serif workhorse: strong enough to anchor headings, yet calm and open enough to remain readable in paragraphs. The bracketed slabs and moderate proportions aim for versatility and a familiar, durable typographic presence.
The design maintains a consistent horizontal emphasis from the slab serifs, helping words track in a firm baseline-driven rhythm. Letterforms remain legible at text sizes thanks to generous internal space and restrained detailing, while the heavier terminals keep it confident in headings.
