A robust slab-serif with heavy, squarish serifs and subtly bracketed joins. Strokes are thick with only modest modulation, producing dense, high-ink letterforms and strong vertical emphasis. Capitals are wide and steady with broad shoulders and rounded interior curves, while the lowercase shows compact counters, sturdy terminals, and a solid, bookish rhythm. Numerals follow the same hefty construction, reading clearly with consistent weight and firm slab endings.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where strong typographic color is desirable, as well as posters, signage, and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, attention-holding voice. It can also work for short editorial callouts and pull quotes where a traditional slab-serif presence is intended.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a no-nonsense presence that feels authoritative and reliable. Its weight and slab structure give it an editorial, print-forward character—serious, grounded, and slightly old-school without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif voice with modern solidity: heavy, structured forms that maintain clarity while projecting strength. Its consistent, high-ink construction suggests a focus on impact and legibility in display and prominent text roles.
The slab serifs are prominent enough to shape word texture at display sizes, creating a strong horizontal cadence. The dense color and compact apertures favor impactful setting over airy minimalism, especially in longer lines.
