A heavy, bracketed slab-serif with generous width and a steady, upright stance. Strokes show clear but not extreme contrast, pairing thick verticals with firm slabs that are subtly softened by curved joins. Curvature is rounded and full, with occasional ball-like terminals and slightly cupped or flared ends that add warmth to the otherwise solid structure. Counters are fairly open for the weight, and the overall rhythm is dense and even, producing strong color in text while keeping letterforms distinct.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display sizes where its strong slabs and wide proportions can project authority. It also works well for editorial pull quotes and short blocks of text in print-forward layouts, and can lend a classic, dependable voice to branding, labels, and packaging.
The font feels confident and established, with a classic, print-forward character. Its broad, sturdy shapes and softened details give it a welcoming, slightly nostalgic tone that reads as trustworthy and emphatic rather than austere.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, old-style slab-serif voice that balances firmness with approachable softness. It prioritizes impact and legibility, creating a strong typographic color for attention-grabbing titles while retaining enough openness for short-form reading.
The lowercase shows a lively, text-oriented texture with noticeable personality in terminals and joins, while the uppercase remains stately and poster-ready. Numerals are weighty and clear, matching the slab construction and maintaining the same robust presence as the letters.
