A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions and firm, rectangular serifs that read as strongly grounded on the baseline. Strokes are dense and confident, with moderate contrast and mostly flat, squared terminals that keep the texture solid and even. Counters are relatively compact, and joins are clean, giving the alphabet a sturdy, poster-friendly rhythm while maintaining conventional serif letter construction.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short editorial blocks where a dense, classic slab voice is desired. It works well in posters, packaging, and signage that need sturdy legibility and strong typographic presence, especially when paired with simpler supporting text.
The overall tone is classic and authoritative, with a sturdy, no-nonsense presence reminiscent of traditional print typography. Its weight and slab structure lend a dependable, institutional feel that can skew either editorial or collegiate depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional slab-serif voice with extra weight and width for impact, prioritizing firmness, stability, and a confident print-like texture in display and headline settings.
In text, the heavy serifs create pronounced horizontal emphasis and a dark typographic color, which suits short passages and display sizes more than delicate, airy layouts. Numerals appear similarly weighty and stable, matching the letterforms for cohesive headline use.
