A robust slab-serif with heavy, squared serifs and a consistent, low-contrast stroke structure. The letterforms are broad and steady, with ample horizontal presence and clear, straightforward construction. Serifs are prominent and largely flat-ended, giving strokes a blocky, anchored finish, while counters stay open enough for strong legibility. Overall spacing reads even and workmanlike, producing a solid typographic color in both all-caps and mixed-case settings.
This design performs best where strong, readable type is needed with a grounded serif character—such as headlines, magazine layouts, posters, and branding systems that benefit from a sturdy voice. It can also work in short-to-medium text passages when a dense, confident typographic color is desired.
The font conveys a sturdy, no-nonsense tone with an editorial and institutional flavor. Its bold, blocky serifs and steady rhythm suggest reliability and authority rather than delicacy or flair. The overall impression is practical and confident, suited to clear messaging.
The design intention appears to be a dependable slab-serif with pronounced, square-ended serifs for clarity and impact. Its broad proportions and consistent stroke treatment prioritize legibility and presence, aiming for a versatile, editorial-friendly workhorse that remains assertive in display settings.
In the glyph grid, uppercase forms feel especially stable and sign-like, while the lowercase maintains a traditional serif silhouette that keeps text familiar at reading sizes. Numerals appear substantial and well-matched to the weight and presence of the letters, supporting clear emphasis in data or headlines.
