A heavy slab-serif with broad, squared serifs and mostly flat terminals, softened by subtle rounding and slight bracketing where strokes meet serifs. The strokes are consistently thick with minimal contrast, producing a dense, poster-ready color on the page. Counters are relatively tight and the curves (C, O, S) are robust and open enough to stay clear at display sizes. The lowercase is straightforward and workmanlike, with a single-storey g, a large, round dot on i/j, and a compact, sturdy rhythm that reads evenly in blocks of text.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and short passages where a strong, steady slab-serif voice is desired. It can also work effectively in branding, packaging, and signage where clarity and impact matter more than delicacy.
The overall tone is solid and authoritative, with a familiar print sensibility that recalls traditional editorial and institutional typography. Its weight and squared details give it a grounded, dependable presence that feels assertive without becoming ornamental.
This design appears intended to deliver a dependable, high-impact slab-serif for display and editorial settings, emphasizing sturdy construction, even stroke weight, and clear, traditional letterforms that maintain authority at larger sizes.
In the sample text, the bold texture holds together well across long lines and mixed-case pangrams, emphasizing a strong horizontal baseline and clear word shapes. The numerals are sturdy and prominent, matching the same dense, rectangular logic as the letters.
