A very heavy slab serif with broad proportions and a compact, blocky rhythm. Serifs are thick and mostly squared, with subtle bracketing and soft curvature where strokes meet, giving the shapes a slightly sculpted feel rather than purely mechanical geometry. Counters are relatively round and generous for the weight, while joins and terminals show small notches and tapering that suggest ink-trap-like detailing in places. Stroke contrast is noticeable within the bold build, and spacing appears open enough to keep dense text readable at display sizes.
Best suited to display settings where weight and presence matter—headlines, posters, and bold editorial callouts. It can also work well for branding and packaging that want a sturdy, heritage-leaning voice, and for signage-style applications where clear, high-impact letterforms are needed.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, with a classic, old-style heft that reads as traditional and dependable. Its chunky slabs and wide stance add a vintage, print-forward flavor that can feel collegiate, editorial, and slightly Western without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional slab-serif voice, balancing squared-off strength with just enough curvature and interior openness to keep forms recognizable and lively at large sizes.
The lowercase shows strong, rounded bowls and a solid baseline presence, while the uppercase maintains a stable, sign-like silhouette. Numerals follow the same robust construction, with clear shapes and strong vertical emphasis.
