A sturdy slab serif with heavy, bracketed serifs and softly rounded corners that keep the color dense but not harsh. Strokes are mostly monoline with gentle modulation, and the curves (notably in C, O, and S) are full and well-supported, giving the face a solid rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact with relatively small apertures and a sturdy, no-nonsense construction; the numerals follow the same blunt, weighty logic with stable verticals and wide bowls. Overall spacing and proportions feel workmanlike and consistent, producing an even, dark texture in text.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where a strong slab voice can anchor the layout. It can also serve editorial display and sturdy UI or signage applications that benefit from compact, robust letterforms and consistent texture.
The font projects a dependable, traditional tone with a slightly softened edge—confident and practical rather than delicate or flashy. Its slab structure suggests an editorial and utilitarian sensibility, evoking classic print, signage, and robust branding.
The design appears intended as a plainspoken, durable slab serif: strong serifs for authority and readability, softened details for a friendlier presence, and consistent construction for reliable performance across display and text-forward settings.
The serifs are prominent and generously bracketed, and many joins and terminals appear subtly rounded, which reduces brittleness at large sizes. The heavy overall color makes it most comfortable where strong presence and clear shapes are desired, especially in short-to-medium text runs.
