A sturdy slab-serif with square, mostly unbracketed serifs and crisp, straight terminals. Strokes are generally even and confident, with a clear vertical stress and solid, rectangular footings that add weight at the ends of stems. Counters are open and round forms stay relatively generous, while joins and curves remain clean and controlled, giving the design a firm, typeset feel. Numerals and capitals read as compact and stable, and the lowercase maintains a straightforward, text-ready construction without calligraphic flourish.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, and editorial typography where a strong serif presence helps establish hierarchy. It also works for book covers, posters, and brand marks that benefit from a traditional, dependable tone and a firm typographic footprint.
The tone is classic and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial and institutional voice. Its bold, blocky serifs convey reliability and seriousness, suggesting printed matter, signage, and formal communication rather than playful or experimental design.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif voice with clean, square terminals and consistent stroke behavior, prioritizing legibility and typographic authority. Its construction suggests an emphasis on dependable, print-oriented readability while keeping a bold, graphic presence in display sizes.
In paragraph setting the heavy serifs create a pronounced horizontal rhythm, while the restrained detailing keeps the texture uniform and orderly. The overall silhouette favors clarity and impact, especially in mixed-case text where the sturdy slabs anchor lines and word shapes.
