A heavy, slab-serif design with broad, squared letterforms and strongly bracketed, rectangular serifs. Strokes stay largely even with subtle modulation and softened corners, giving the outlines a slightly cushioned, carved look rather than a sharp geometric feel. Counters are relatively tight and the joins are robust, producing dense, dark word shapes with a steady rhythm. The lowercase is compact with sturdy stems and clear, workmanlike numerals.
Best suited to display typography where maximum impact is needed—headlines, posters, branding marks, and packaging panels. It can also work for short blocks of emphasis text (pull quotes, section headers, signage copy) where dense, high-contrast word shapes are desirable.
The overall tone is bold and confident, with a classic, utilitarian flavor that evokes posters, labels, and heritage signage. Its weight and slab structure read as dependable and no-nonsense, while the rounded transitions keep it approachable rather than severe.
Designed to deliver a strong, familiar slab-serif presence with solid readability and a confident, heritage-leaning voice. The softened joins and compact counters suggest an aim for durability and warmth in bold display settings rather than delicate refinement.
The wide slabs and bracketing create strong horizontal emphasis in lines of text, and the compact internal spaces make the face feel punchy and ink-friendly at display sizes. The figures and capitals share the same blocky construction, helping mixed alphanumeric settings stay visually consistent.
