A sturdy slab-serif with flat, square-ended serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The letterforms are broad and open, with generous counters, sturdy stems, and crisp right-angled joins that create a blocky, engineered texture. Curves (like O, C, and Q) stay rounded but meet stems with firm, squared transitions, and the overall spacing reads steady and even in text. Numerals follow the same robust, squared logic, keeping a strong baseline presence and clear silhouettes.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and poster typography where a firm, slab-serif voice is desired. It can also work in editorial layouts and brand systems that need a sturdy, legible serif with a distinctive, squared finish, including packaging and signage where quick recognition matters.
The design reads confident and pragmatic, with a slightly retro, print-era flavor. Its strong slabs and blunt terminals give it a no-nonsense authority that feels at home in editorial and institutional contexts while still carrying a friendly, familiar warmth.
The font appears designed to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice with strong structure, clear shapes, and a bold, square-ended personality. Its proportions and rhythm suggest an emphasis on readability and impact across both display and text contexts.
In paragraph setting, the heavy serifs create a distinct horizontal rhythm that can help guide the eye, while the wide proportions and open apertures keep the page from feeling cramped. The font’s consistent, squared detailing makes it especially recognizable at display sizes and holds up well in bold headlines without looking overly ornamental.
