The letterforms show compact proportions with rounded bowls contrasted by sharply cut terminals, creating a firm, mechanical rhythm. Capitals are broad and authoritative, while lowercase forms are straightforward and legible, with simple joins and clear counters. Numerals are heavy and stable, with squared-off details that match the serif treatment and maintain an even, workmanlike texture in text.
This font suits headlines and subheads where a solid, attention-holding slab serif is desired, and it performs well in editorial settings that call for a firm, classic voice. Its sturdy shapes also make it a good candidate for posters, labels, and signage where clear, high-impact letterforms are important.

The design appears intended to deliver a practical, durable slab-serif look with strong structure and dependable readability. It emphasizes squared terminals and consistent stroke behavior to create a confident, print-oriented texture that feels both classic and workmanlike.
