A robust slab serif with heavy, squared letterforms and strong bracketed serifs that read clearly at display sizes. Stems are thick and dark, with noticeable contrast between main strokes and inner notches/counters, producing a crisp, poster-like rhythm. Curves are controlled and slightly condensed in the bowls, while terminals and serifs stay blunt and stable, giving the alphabet a consistent, engineered feel. Lowercase shapes are straightforward and workmanlike, with single-storey a and g and sturdy joins that keep the texture dense and even.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and callouts where a dense, authoritative color is desirable. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and wayfinding-style signage that needs a strong slab serif voice and dependable legibility at larger sizes.
The overall tone is solid and no-nonsense, projecting reliability and impact rather than delicacy. It feels traditional in its serif structure but aimed at bold, practical communication—like signage, headlines, and strong editorial statements.
The design appears intended as a bold, practical slab serif for straightforward communication—emphasizing durability, clarity, and a consistent, traditional serif framework while maintaining a compact, high-impact texture on the page.
Counters are relatively tight in letters like a, e, s, and 8, which increases darkness and presence in text blocks. The numerals are hefty and highly legible, with simple, confident silhouettes that match the capitals’ weight and the font’s overall rigidity.
