A robust slab-serif with heavy, mostly low-contrast strokes and broad, squared serifs. The forms are compact and confident, with rounded joins and subtly bracketed slab terminals that keep the texture from feeling too rigid. Counters are moderately open and the overall rhythm is steady, producing a dense, even color in text. Uppercase proportions are solid and slightly wide, while the lowercase maintains a practical, readable structure with a straightforward two-storey “a” and a compact, workmanlike “g.”
Well suited to headlines and subheads where a firm, high-impact serif is needed, and it also holds up in short-to-medium blocks of editorial text thanks to its steady rhythm and low-contrast construction. It can add a strong, trustworthy voice to posters, signage-style layouts, book jackets, and packaging that benefits from a classic slab-serif presence.
The font communicates dependability and authority, combining a no-nonsense editorial tone with a faintly industrial, utilitarian flavor. Its weight and blunt serifs give it a grounded, old-school confidence that reads as earnest rather than delicate or flashy.
The design intent appears to be a plainspoken, durable slab-serif built for broad usability—delivering strong typographic color, clear shapes, and a confident presence without relying on decorative quirks.
Letterfit appears comfortable for continuous reading, with sturdy numerals and clear punctuation that match the same slabby, squared logic. The overall drawing favors legibility and presence over refinement, making it feel at home in practical typography where strong emphasis is needed.
