A sturdy slab-serif with square, flat-ended serifs and a confident, high-ink presence. Strokes are fairly even with moderate contrast and crisp joins, giving the letterforms a stable, engineered rhythm. Counters are generously open and the overall spacing reads comfortable and deliberate, supporting clear word shapes. Lowercase forms are straightforward and readable, with short-to-moderate ascenders/descenders and compact, squared detailing at terminals.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and long-form reading where a firm slab-serif texture helps structure the page. It can also carry headlines, pull quotes, and poster copy effectively when a traditional yet bold voice is needed, and works nicely for packaging or branding that aims for dependable, established character.
The tone is classic and authoritative, evoking printed matter and institutional typography. Its blocky serifs and steady color convey reliability and seriousness, with a slightly vintage, library-like feel rather than a sleek contemporary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif for general-purpose typography, balancing a strong, traditional presence with practical readability in continuous text and display settings.
Capitals feel especially solid and monumental, while the lowercase maintains a pragmatic, workhorse texture. Numerals are robust and consistent in color, suited to dense settings where a stable typographic gray is desirable.
