A sturdy slab serif with heavy, square-cut serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. Letterforms are compact and broad-shouldered, with blunt terminals, squared joins, and minimal modulation, creating a dense, planted texture. Counters are relatively tight, while curves stay controlled and slightly squared in feeling, giving round letters a firm, engineered presence. Numerals and capitals appear especially solid and sign-like, with strong horizontal emphasis from the slabs.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that need a strong, stable voice. It also fits editorial display roles such as section heads, pull quotes, and mastheads, and can work for signage where a compact, high-impact slab serif texture is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and dependable, with a classic, workmanlike flavor that reads as traditional but not delicate. Its chunky slabs and no-nonsense geometry suggest institutional authority and a slightly vintage, collegiate energy. The texture feels emphatic and practical rather than refined or calligraphic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with simple, robust construction—combining classic slab-serif cues with square, blunt finishing for clarity and impact. It emphasizes solidity, legibility at larger sizes, and a distinctly assertive typographic color.
At text sizes the dark color and tight interior spaces produce a bold, continuous rhythm suited to short passages and prominent settings. The squared serifs and flat terminals create crisp baselines and caplines, helping the face hold its shape in impactful display use.
