A very heavy slab serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and strong vertical stress. Strokes are thick with visible contrast in joins and curves, giving counters a carved, poster-like solidity. The design favors compact, blocky proportions and firm horizontals, while rounded forms stay full and slightly condensed in their interior spaces. Terminals often finish with soft shaping (including ball-like endings on some lowercase), adding a touch of warmth to an otherwise robust, workmanlike construction.
Well suited for headlines, decks, and short bursts of copy where a strong typographic voice is needed. It can work for editorial display, packaging, and signage that benefits from a sturdy slab-serif texture and high-impact letterforms.
The overall tone is bold and authoritative, with an old-style editorial heft that reads as dependable and no-nonsense. Its weight and slab serifs evoke industrial and traditional print contexts, projecting confidence and impact without feeling ornate.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum weight and clarity with a familiar slab-serif structure, balancing sturdy construction with slightly softened details for readability. The aim is a practical, versatile display face that holds up in bold branding and editorial contexts.
At text sizes the dense color and tight fit create a strong texture, best suited to settings where presence matters more than delicacy. The numerals and capitals read as particularly stout and sign-like, with clear, emphatic silhouettes.
