This is a heavy, wide slab-serif with substantial, squared serifs and gently rounded joins that keep the forms from feeling sharp. Strokes are robust with modest contrast, and the letterforms lean on broad bowls and strong horizontals for a grounded, stable texture. The lowercase is built on a workmanlike skeleton with a single-storey “a” and “g,” short, thick terminals, and a sturdy, readable rhythm that stays consistent across the alphabet. Numerals are similarly weighty and open, with large counters and a smooth, continuous flow that matches the letterforms.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where its heavy slabs and wide proportions can create impact without losing legibility. It also fits well in posters, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, and packaging that needs a sturdy, traditional voice, and can work for editorial display typography when a strong, print-centric texture is desired.
The overall tone is solid and no-nonsense, with a classic, print-forward character that recalls traditional signage and editorial display work. It feels dependable and assertive rather than delicate, projecting a straightforward, practical confidence.
The design appears intended as a practical, readable slab-serif with enough weight and width to deliver presence in display contexts while keeping letterforms familiar and steady. Its consistent construction prioritizes clarity and durability over ornamental novelty.
The serifs read as strongly integrated into the stems, creating a cohesive blocky silhouette that holds up at larger sizes. Counters remain generous for a bold face, helping maintain clarity in dense settings like the sample paragraph.
