A sturdy slab-serif with square-shouldered, blocky serifs and a generally even stroke texture. The serifs read as firm and supportive, with subtle bracketing at joins and terminals that softens the geometry without losing its solid presence. Counters are open and generously shaped, and curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) stay controlled and balanced against the straight-sided stems. The uppercase feels stately and structured, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike rhythm; the overall impression is consistent and stable across letters and figures.
Well-suited for editorial typography, including headlines and subheads where a firm, readable slab presence is desirable. It can also work in longer-form reading at comfortable sizes thanks to its even texture and open counters, and it fits branding systems that want a classic, dependable voice. The strong serifs and sturdy construction can hold up in display applications such as posters or signage when a traditional yet bold structure is needed.
The tone is confident and traditional, with a no-nonsense sturdiness that suggests printed matter and institutional clarity. Its slab structure conveys reliability and a slightly editorial seriousness, while the restrained detailing keeps it approachable rather than ornate.
Likely designed to deliver a practical, print-forward slab-serif voice: stable in text, confident in titles, and consistent across mixed-case settings. The emphasis appears to be on legibility and a grounded typographic color rather than stylistic flourish.
The numerals appear clear and utilitarian, matching the letterforms’ steady weight and squared finishing. Round forms stay fairly upright and compact, and the serif treatment helps anchor lines of text, giving paragraphs a grounded, printed-page feel.
