A robust slab-serif with heavy strokes and firmly bracketed, square-ended serifs. The design leans broad and stable, with generous horizontal emphasis in capitals and a strong, even rhythm in text. Curves are full and weighty, apertures tend to be relatively tight, and joins feel reinforced, creating a high-ink, authoritative texture. Figures are solid and prominent, matching the letterforms’ sturdy proportions and blunt, mechanical finishing.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial text where strong typographic presence is desirable. It can perform well on posters, packaging, and brand systems that benefit from a sturdy, classic slab-serif voice. In longer passages, its dense color suggests comfortable use at moderate sizes with ample leading.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with an editorial gravitas that feels familiar and trustworthy. Its dense color and emphatic serifs lend a sense of permanence—more “print headline” than “delicate refinement.” The voice reads as assertive and workmanlike, suitable for communication that wants to feel established and dependable.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, authoritative slab-serif look with consistent, reinforced details and a clear, traditional skeleton. Emphasis is placed on impact and stability—creating a dependable typographic tone that holds up in prominent display settings while remaining readable in text-oriented layouts.
Uppercase forms appear particularly strong and blocky, while lowercase maintains clear, conventional structures that support continuous reading. Terminals and serifs stay consistently squared off, reinforcing a structured, no-nonsense character across both letters and numerals.
