A heavy slab-serif with broad, rectangular proportions and strongly bracketed, squared serifs. Strokes are robust with visible contrast between main stems and the slab terminals, giving a deliberate, carved feel rather than monoline geometry. Counters are relatively compact and apertures tend to be tight, boosting color on the page and making words read as dense, emphatic blocks. Curves are rounded but controlled, while joins show subtle shaping that hints at ink-trap-like notches in places, improving definition at heavy weights.
Best suited to display typography where strong presence is needed—headlines, posters, and prominent brand statements. The dense, sturdy forms also work well for packaging and labels, as well as signage and editorial callouts where a confident, traditional slab voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and dependable, with a classic, workhorse voice that feels at home in print. Its bold slabs and dense texture suggest vintage editorial and industrial signage influences—confident, slightly old-school, and built for impact.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional slab-serif structure, balancing a classic editorial heritage with a more muscular, contemporary weight. Its shaping prioritizes bold readability and a consistent, authoritative texture across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
In the sample text, the strong horizontal slabs create a pronounced baseline and cap-line presence, producing a steady rhythm across lines. The numerals are similarly weighty and block-driven, matching the serif language for cohesive typographic color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
