A sturdy slab serif with strong, bracketed serifs and a generously weighted, even stroke structure. The letterforms are broad and steady, with open counters and blunt terminals that keep the texture dense but readable. Curves are smooth and controlled, while joins and shoulders stay firm rather than calligraphic, producing a consistent, workmanlike rhythm across upper- and lowercase. Figures are similarly robust, with clear shapes and ample weight for strong presence in display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and packaging where a bold, sturdy serif voice is needed. It can also work for editorial display and short passages at larger sizes, where the strong serifs and open counters help maintain clarity.
The overall tone feels classic and pragmatic, with a confident, slightly old-school editorial flavor. Its heavy serifs and solid color suggest reliability and authority rather than delicacy or flamboyance.
Designed to deliver a dependable slab-serif presence with strong structure and straightforward readability, emphasizing solidity and impact for prominent text.
The face keeps a consistent, squared-off serif logic throughout, giving it a stable baseline and a pronounced horizontal emphasis. Round letters retain generous interior space, helping legibility despite the heavy weight.
