A sturdy slab serif with heavy, bracketed serifs and a largely monolinear, low‑to‑moderate contrast stroke pattern. The forms are compact and strongly anchored, with wide vertical stems, rounded bowls, and squared terminals that create a dark, even texture in text. Counters are relatively small for the weight, and the overall rhythm favors strong vertical emphasis and clear, rectangular silhouettes.
Well suited for headlines, subheads, and poster-style typography where strong presence and stability are desired. It also fits editorial applications such as magazine pull quotes and section titles, and can work in branding and signage that benefits from a traditional slab-serif voice.
The tone is practical and confident, with a traditional, workmanlike presence that feels dependable rather than decorative. Its weight and slab serifs suggest an editorial or institutional voice—solid, direct, and meant to be read with authority.
The design appears intended as a no-nonsense slab serif for emphatic display and assertive typography, prioritizing firmness, consistency, and legibility at larger sizes. Its restrained detailing and even rhythm point to a general-purpose, dependable type choice rather than a novelty style.
In the samples, spacing appears comfortably open for a heavy face, helping prevent the dense strokes from clogging in larger paragraphs. Numerals and capitals read as robust and steady, supporting signage-like emphasis while maintaining a consistent text color.
