A sturdy slab-serif with substantial, squared terminals and softly bracketed joins that keep the heavy strokes from feeling abrupt. The letterforms are broad and generously spaced, with a calm, upright stance and a consistent, rhythmic texture in text. Stroke contrast is noticeable but not dramatic, pairing firm verticals with slightly lighter curves and crossbars. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the serifs read as solid blocks with subtle rounding and occasional notch-like shaping at some joins.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where a strong, stable slab-serif voice is needed. It can also work for editorial decks and branding systems that want a traditional foundation with bold, attention-holding presence.
The overall tone is confident and editorial, balancing traditional slab-serif authority with a slightly warm, approachable character. Its weight and broad proportions give it a dependable, headline-ready presence without feeling overly formal.
Likely intended to provide a modern, display-forward slab-serif with strong emphasis and clear structure, combining classic serif conventions with heavier slabs for impact and legibility at larger sizes.
In the samples, the font maintains strong word shapes at larger sizes, and the numerals appear equally robust and display-oriented. The lowercase shows clear, compact joins and sturdy terminals that reinforce a consistent, print-like texture across lines.
