A sturdy slab serif with heavy, block-like serifs and minimal stroke modulation. The letterforms are wide and strongly built, with squared-off terminals, firm vertical stress, and generous, open counters that keep the dark color from clogging. Serifs read mostly as flat slabs with subtle bracketing in places, and the overall drawing favors strong horizontals and straight-sided curves for a compact, punchy rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, posters, and other display settings where a dense, authoritative texture is desired. It can also support branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, sturdy voice, and it remains readable in short passages when set with comfortable spacing.
The tone is confident and traditional, with a workmanlike, no-nonsense presence. It evokes familiar editorial and collegiate signals—authoritative, dependable, and built for impact rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, dependable slab-serif voice with high visual impact and clear letter differentiation. Its broad proportions and emphatic serifs suggest a focus on attention-grabbing display use while maintaining conventional, familiar shapes for easy reading.
Capitals feel especially commanding due to broad proportions and pronounced slab feet, while the lowercase maintains clarity through open bowls and straightforward joins. Numerals are similarly bold and legible, matching the same sturdy, rectangular serif vocabulary.
