A robust slab-serif with heavy, squared serifs and clearly bracketed joins that soften the slab terminals. Strokes are broad and mostly even, with modest contrast showing up in a few curves and joins. Proportions feel roomy and slightly extended, with a stable baseline and strong horizontals; counters are open and round forms stay relatively generous despite the weight. The lowercase uses a two-storey “a” and “g” with firm, blocky terminals, while capitals keep a classic, structured silhouette with pronounced slabs on E, F, T, and I.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, and editorial typography where a strong serif presence is desired. It can also support branding, packaging, signage, and posters that benefit from a sturdy, traditional voice with high visual impact.
The overall tone is authoritative and grounded, combining a traditional, print-forward voice with a blunt, workmanlike solidity. It reads as confident and pragmatic rather than delicate, lending a dependable, no-nonsense personality to headlines and short text.
Likely intended as a contemporary, high-impact slab serif that nods to classic print and wood-type traditions while staying clean and structured for modern layout. The design emphasizes firmness, readability, and a distinctive horizontal cadence from its slabs.
The numerals and uppercase feel especially weighty and stable, and the slabs create a strong horizontal rhythm that holds together well in dense lines. Rounded letters (O, Q, e) stay smooth and legible, while joins and brackets prevent the design from feeling overly mechanical.
