A robust slab serif with broad, square-cut serifs and mostly straight, confident strokes. The design shows low contrast and a slightly rounded interior geometry that keeps counters open, while joins stay compact and controlled. Uppercase proportions feel steady and moderately wide, and the lowercase maintains a clear, workmanlike rhythm with a double-storey “g” and a single-storey “a.” Figures are bold and readable with simple, traditional forms, lending the set a cohesive, no-nonsense texture in paragraph use.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where a firm, confident slab-serif presence is desired, and it also performs nicely in editorial layouts that benefit from strong typographic structure. Its bold, sturdy detailing can support branding and packaging, particularly for products or identities aiming for a classic, dependable impression.
The overall tone is practical and authoritative, leaning toward an old-school, industrial seriousness rather than delicacy. Its sturdy slabs and steady rhythm convey reliability and a sense of established voice, making it feel at home in contexts that want clarity with a bit of heritage weight.
The font appears designed to deliver a durable, highly legible slab-serif voice that holds up in prominent typography. It prioritizes clarity and consistency, pairing strong serifs with open counters to balance impact with readability.
In text settings the heavy serifs create a strong horizontal emphasis, producing a dense, confident color on the page. Terminals and serifs read cleanly at display sizes, while the generous internal space helps maintain legibility as size decreases.
