A heavy slab-serif with blocky proportions and a compact, forceful texture. The serifs read as thick, squared slabs with subtle bracketing, and the joins show small notches and corners that create an ink-trap-like bite at tight interiors. Curves are broad and sturdy rather than delicate, counters stay open, and overall spacing produces a dense, authoritative rhythm. The lowercase is robust with a strong baseline presence, and the numerals share the same solid, squared construction.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable. It can also work well for packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from strong letterforms and stable, slab-serif structure.
The tone is dependable and workmanlike, with a vintage editorial and collegiate flavor. Its weight and squared details make it feel assertive and institutional, suited to messages that need clarity and conviction rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, reliable slab-serif voice with a slightly industrial, print-forward personality, emphasizing solidity, readability, and strong presence in display settings.
At text sizes the heavy strokes and compact sidebearings create a dark color, while the crisp slab terminals keep shapes legible and consistent across lines. The design’s squared notches at joins and terminals add character without drifting into novelty.
