A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, bracketed terminals and a compact, ink-rich silhouette. Strokes show clear modulation, with strong verticals and slightly tapered joins that keep counters open despite the weight. Serifs are broad and supportive, giving letters a grounded stance; curves are full and slightly squared at stress points, creating a firm, rhythmic texture in text. The lowercase is compact and workmanlike, with a clear two-storey “a” and a single-storey “g”, and the numerals read large and solid with emphatic slab finishing.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium display text where the heavy slabs and contrast can project presence. It can also support branding and packaging that wants a classic, print-derived feel, and works well for editorial titling where a strong typographic voice is desirable.
The overall tone feels traditional and assertive, with a distinctly classic, print-forward character. Its bold serifs and crisp contrast evoke editorial authority and a nostalgic, collegiate poster sensibility while still reading cleanly at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, traditional slab-serif voice with pronounced serifs and controlled contrast, prioritizing impact and legibility in display contexts. Its shapes suggest a nod to vintage printing and collegiate signage while remaining structured enough for modern layout systems.
In the sample paragraph, the dense vertical rhythm and pronounced serifs create strong word shapes and a confident line color. Spacing appears moderately tight for a slab of this weight, helping it hold together in headlines while maintaining readable counters in mixed-case text.
