A robust slab-serif with pronounced, squared serifs and generally low stroke contrast. Letterforms are broad and steady, with generous internal counters and a calm, even rhythm across lines. The serifs appear mostly flat and substantial, with slight bracketing in places, giving joins a subtly softened transition rather than a razor-sharp snap. Curves (C, O, S) are full and open, while horizontals and stems read as firm, producing a compact, strongly anchored texture in text.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium text where a firm, legible texture is desirable. Its broad proportions and sturdy serifs make it effective for editorial design, branding systems that need a dependable voice, and display applications such as posters or packaging where impact and clarity are both priorities.
The overall tone is sturdy and self-assured, balancing classic print sensibilities with a pragmatic, contemporary solidity. It feels dependable and authoritative without becoming overly formal, projecting a grounded, utilitarian confidence.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, stable reading experience with strong baseline anchoring and clear shapes, pairing traditional slab-serif cues with straightforward, no-nonsense construction for versatile print and screen use.
In the samples, the face maintains consistent color at larger sizes, with clear differentiation among similar shapes (e.g., I/l/1 and O/0) aided by the slab structure and distinctive terminals. The numerals carry the same blocky serif logic as the letters, supporting cohesive typographic hierarchy in mixed editorial settings.
