A sturdy slab-serif with broad, blocky serifs and minimal stroke modulation. Letterforms are upright and evenly built, with squared shoulders and firm horizontal terminals that give the texture a steady, mechanical rhythm. Serifs read as bold and supportive rather than delicate, and joins are clean, keeping counters open and forms clear at larger and moderate sizes. The overall silhouette is compact and confident, with consistent stem weight and straightforward proportions across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where a strong serif presence is desired, and it can also serve editorial applications that want a firm, traditional texture. Its robust shapes make it a good candidate for posters, packaging, and brand systems that aim for a dependable, print-forward voice.
The font projects an editorial, no-nonsense tone—confident and traditional without feeling ornate. Its strong slabs and steady spacing evoke a classic, institutional voice associated with print, signage, and utilitarian display settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a practical slab-serif look with strong structure and consistent weight, prioritizing clarity and impact over refinement. It aims to provide a reliable, assertive typographic tone that holds up well in prominent settings.
Capitals appear solid and declarative, while the lowercase maintains clarity with simple, workmanlike shapes. Numerals match the same robust construction, reinforcing a cohesive, dependable color in running text and headings.
