A very weighty slab serif with pronounced bracketed slabs and clear stroke-contrast that gives the letterforms a sculpted, engraved quality. The proportions are compact and robust, with rounded joins and broad curves that keep the texture smooth despite the strong serifs. Terminals and serifs present as blocky and stable, producing a dense, even typographic color and strong word shapes at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where bold typographic presence is needed. It can also work well for mastheads, pull quotes, signage, and branding that wants a classic, dependable slab-serif character. Due to its dense strokes and strong contrast, it is most comfortable at medium to large sizes rather than extended body text.
This typeface feels confident and emphatic, with a sturdy, no-nonsense tone. Its heavy presence reads as traditional and authoritative, with a touch of editorial drama that suits attention-grabbing settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and stability while retaining a classic serif voice. Its combination of substantial slabs and visible contrast suggests a balance between industrial sturdiness and refined, print-oriented typography.
Counters are relatively tight and the overall texture is dark, producing strong emphasis and compact spacing. Numerals are bold and simple, matching the letterforms’ sturdy rhythm and reinforcing the display-oriented feel.
