A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions and a calm, even color. Strokes are largely monolinear with minimal contrast, and the terminals resolve into firm, squared serifs that read as slightly bracketed rather than razor-sharp. Curves are generous and open, giving letters like C, G, and S clear interior space, while round forms (O, Q) feel wide and stable. The lowercase shows a traditional, readable build with a compact ear on g, a straightforward two-storey-style structure where applicable, and simple, workmanlike numerals with consistent weight and strong baseline anchoring.
Well suited to editorial typography where a strong, legible serif is needed for long-form reading, as well as subheads and headlines that benefit from a grounded, no-nonsense presence. It can also work effectively in branding and packaging when a classic, sturdy voice is desired, and in posters where the slab serifs help hold shape at larger sizes.
The tone is dependable and traditional, projecting authority without feeling ornate. Its slab details add a hint of editorial heritage—confident, steady, and a touch institutional—while remaining friendly enough for everyday reading.
The design appears intended as a practical slab-serif workhorse: strong, readable letterforms with an even texture and minimal stylistic fuss, aimed at reliable performance across both display and text settings.
The rhythm is blocky and consistent, with pronounced horizontals and clear joins that keep words crisp at text sizes. Uppercase forms feel especially solid and signpost-like, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open apertures and restrained detailing.
