A robust slab-serif with pronounced, squared serifs and mostly straight, architectural strokes. The design shows clear stroke contrast rather than true monoline behavior, with thicker verticals and comparatively lighter horizontals, plus crisp corners and flat terminals. Counters are generous and open, and the lowercase follows a traditional text-face model with a two-storey “a” and “g,” compact joins, and sturdy stems. Numerals are bold and blocky with strong presence; overall spacing reads even and the rhythm is steady, giving the face a solid, print-oriented texture.
Well suited to editorial typography where a firm slab-serif voice is needed, including magazine headlines, pull quotes, and section titles. Its strong serifs and solid numerals also work well for posters, book covers, packaging, and branding systems that benefit from a sturdy, readable, classic-forward texture.
The tone is assertive and dependable, combining a classic, bookish sensibility with a slightly retro, poster-ready sturdiness. It feels authoritative without being delicate, projecting clarity and confidence in both headings and longer lines.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice with strong structure and clear letter differentiation, balancing traditional text conventions with a more forceful, display-capable weight distribution. It aims for legibility and authority, while retaining enough geometric crispness to read as modern-industrial in tone.
Several glyphs show subtly sheared joins and tight interior corners that suggest attention to ink gain and small-size stability. The cap shapes are broad and weighty (notably in O/Q and the diagonals of V/W/Y), while the serifs stay consistent and squared, reinforcing a disciplined, industrial feel.
