A robust slab serif with heavy, squared serifs and a pronounced, rectangular construction. Strokes are thick and largely even, with minimal modulation, creating a dense, steady color in text. The serifs read as firm and mostly flat-ended, often with subtle bracketing that softens joins without reducing the overall blocky impression. Counters are generous enough to stay open at display sizes, while curves (C, O, S) remain broad and rounded against the otherwise rectilinear rhythm. Lowercase forms are sturdy and straightforward, with a single-storey g and a strong, compact presence; numerals are weighty and highly legible with simple, stable shapes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and other display settings where a strong typographic anchor is needed. It can also serve well in editorial layouts for short paragraphs or pull quotes, and for packaging or signage that benefits from bold, stable letterforms.
The overall tone is authoritative and workmanlike, leaning toward classic print typography with a no-nonsense, dependable voice. Its heavy slabs and compact detailing convey solidity and confidence, suggesting a traditional editorial or institutional feel rather than a delicate or expressive one.
This design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability through heavy slabs, broad proportions, and a steady, low-modulation stroke system. The letterforms prioritize clarity and firmness, aiming for a classic, print-forward presence that holds up in bold typographic applications.
In the sample text, the font maintains strong word shape and consistent texture, with clear separation between characters even at smaller sizes. The uppercase shows a pronounced, sign-like sturdiness, while the lowercase keeps a pragmatic, readable rhythm suited to longer lines.
