A heavy, display-oriented slab serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and flat, squared terminals. Strokes are robust with visibly tightened joins and slightly pinched internal corners that read like subtle ink traps, especially where bowls meet stems. The lowercase has rounded bowls and compact apertures, while the uppercase carries broad, blocky forms with strong horizontals and stable vertical stress. Numerals are sturdy and prominent, with generous weight and simplified, high-impact silhouettes that keep their shape at large sizes.
Best suited to large-size applications where weight and character are assets—headlines, poster typography, brand marks, packaging, and bold signage. It can also work for short editorial subheads or pull quotes where a dense, authoritative texture is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and headline-ready, with a classic, workmanlike solidity that hints at vintage print and signage. Its dense color and squared details give it a no-nonsense, confident voice that feels bold, slightly rugged, and distinctly editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence and readability at display sizes, combining slab-serif sturdiness with refined bracketing and tightened joins for a controlled, print-forward texture.
The rhythm is tight and emphatic: counters stay relatively small, and letterforms lean on strong horizontals (notably in E/F/T) and wide bowls (C/O/Q) for impact. The serif bracketing softens the otherwise squared construction, creating a blend of blunt strength and traditional warmth.
