A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, mostly unbracketed serifs and crisp, flat terminals. Strokes are generally even but show subtle modulation in curves, with round counters in letters like O/C and a solid, rectangular feel in capitals such as E, F, H, and T. The design reads wide-set with generous internal space, and the lowercase has a clear, workmanlike structure (notably a two-storey g and a single-storey a) with strong horizontal finishing strokes. Numerals appear open and legible, sharing the same square-shouldered, grounded detailing.
This style works best for headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial settings where a firm, classic voice is needed. The strong slabs and open counters also suit branding, packaging, and display copy that benefits from a grounded, traditional presence.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, evoking sturdy print typography and institutional signage. It feels practical and trustworthy rather than delicate, with a slightly collegiate, newspaper-like seriousness.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, readable slab-serif for attention-grabbing typography while retaining familiar, bookish letterforms. Its wide stance and pronounced serifs emphasize stability and impact across print-like and signage-oriented uses.
At text sizes the heavy serifs and wide proportions create a steady rhythm and a dark, even color on the line. The punctuation and basic symbols shown (such as the ampersand) match the same blocky, slab-driven construction, reinforcing a consistent, no-nonsense texture.
