A robust slab-serif with heavy, squared terminals and mostly low stroke modulation. The serifs read as block-like and largely bracketed, giving strokes a planted, mechanical stability. Counters are fairly open for the weight, with round forms staying broad and steady; joins are clean and corners feel crisp rather than calligraphic. Overall spacing and rhythm lean solid and even, with compact details (like the ear and beaks) kept minimal to preserve mass and legibility at larger sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display text where a firm, high-impact texture is desirable. It can also serve branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from sturdy slab-serif authority; for long body copy it will read dense, but remains workable when generously set with leading and size.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, with an editorial seriousness that recalls print-era headlines and utilitarian signage. Its heavy slabs and firm proportions communicate reliability and blunt clarity more than refinement or delicacy.
Likely designed to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice with strong emphasis and broad readability, balancing blunt industrial strength with enough traditional shaping to feel at home in editorial contexts.
Capitals have a strong, poster-like presence, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable structure suited to short-to-medium passages. Numerals are similarly weighty and clear, matching the overall texture without feeling overly decorative.
