A robust slab-serif design with heavy, blocky serifs and subtly bracketed joins that soften the otherwise squared construction. Strokes are thick and steady with moderate contrast, and the overall rhythm is open and generously spaced, helping the weight stay readable. Counters are relatively compact, curves are full and rounded, and terminals finish with flat, blunt ends. The lowercase shows a conventional, workmanlike structure with a two-storey a, a single-storey g, and a firm, squared-shoulder n; figures are wide and even in color, with strong vertical stress.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and short passages where a strong typographic voice is needed—magazine layouts, posters, packaging, and bold brand applications. It can work in larger-size text settings where a sturdy, high-impact slab serif is desirable.
The font projects a solid, dependable tone—assertive without feeling sharp or aggressive. Its chunky serifs and broad proportions suggest a classic, print-forward personality with a hint of collegiate or industrial confidence.
Likely intended as a contemporary, high-impact slab serif that balances square, emphatic details with rounded shaping for approachability. The design focuses on delivering a consistent, dark typographic color and clear letterforms for attention-grabbing display use.
The heavy serifs create strong horizontal emphasis, giving headlines a planted, poster-like presence. In text, the weight and open spacing maintain clarity while the compact inner spaces keep the texture dense and authoritative.
