A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions, hefty square serifs, and a mostly even stroke weight. Terminals and serifs read as flat and blunt, creating a blocky, authoritative texture in both caps and lowercase. The lowercase has sturdy verticals and compact joins, while the overall spacing and rhythm stay steady and legible across the alphabet and numerals.
It works well for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a firm slab-serif voice is desired. The wide, sturdy letterforms also suit posters, packaging, and branding systems that need clear impact and a classic, print-forward presence.
The tone is confident and practical, with a traditional, no-nonsense feel that suggests reliability and clarity. Its bold slab presence gives it an assertive, slightly old-school editorial voice without feeling overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif look with strong, flat-ended serifs and a stable reading rhythm, prioritizing clarity and punch over delicate detail. It aims for a familiar, versatile voice that can anchor editorial layouts and display typography alike.
The shapes emphasize strong horizontals and verticals, producing a dark, consistent text color in paragraphs. Numerals match the overall robustness, with simple, high-contrast-free forms that hold up well at display and subhead sizes.
