A robust slab-serif with heavy, squared terminals and clearly bracketed serifs that read as solid blocks rather than delicate finishing strokes. Strokes are broadly even with little visible contrast, producing a dense, steady color in text. Proportions feel compact and slightly condensed in places, with generous counters that keep the bold forms from clogging. The lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, with a single-storey “g” and a sturdy, vertical rhythm; numerals are similarly blunt and legible, with strong slab feet and clear differentiation.
Well-suited for headlines and short blocks of copy where a firm, high-impact voice is needed, such as posters, packaging, and wayfinding or storefront signage. It can also work in editorial settings for decks, pull quotes, and section openers where a sturdy slab texture helps structure the page.
The overall tone is tough, reliable, and no-nonsense, with a faint vintage/industrial flavor reminiscent of editorial and signage traditions. It projects authority and practicality more than elegance, making it feel grounded and dependable.
The design appears aimed at providing a dependable, general-purpose slab-serif voice: strong serifs for emphasis, low-contrast construction for consistency, and straightforward letterforms that prioritize clarity over ornament.
Serifs are consistent across the set and give lines of text a pronounced baseline and capline presence. The bold weight amplifies the rectangular, poster-like silhouette while maintaining readable apertures and stable spacing in the sample text.
