A robust slab-serif with heavy, square-ended serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The letterforms have broad proportions and generous interior space, producing an open, readable texture at both display and text sizes. Curves are smoothly drawn but finish in crisp, flat terminals, creating a strong rectangular rhythm; joins and corners stay clean and decisive rather than calligraphic. The lowercase follows a straightforward, workmanlike construction with a two-storey “g” and “a”, while figures are evenly built and highly legible.
Well-suited to editorial design where a strong, steady voice is needed—magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and subheads. It also performs well for posters and signage that benefit from sturdy letterforms, and for branding or packaging where a dependable, heritage-leaning presence is desirable.
The overall tone is sturdy and no-nonsense, mixing a classic newspaper solidity with a slightly industrial, utilitarian edge. Its strong slabs and clear shapes convey confidence and authority without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a highly legible slab-serif with emphatic, square serifs and broad proportions, balancing classic readability with a firm, contemporary sturdiness for both headline and supporting text roles.
In the text sample, the font maintains a consistent, even color with firm serifs that help guide the line, while the wide stance and open counters prevent it from feeling cramped. Uppercase forms read bold and poster-ready, yet the lowercase remains calm enough for longer passages.
