A heavy, slab-serif design with broad proportions and squared-off, mostly unbracketed serifs that read as solid blocks. Strokes are thick and relatively even, with modest contrast and tight interior counters that boost density at text sizes. Curves are slightly squarish in their turns, and joins in letters like n, m, and h feel robust and mechanical. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, a compact e, and a short-armed r, reinforcing a utilitarian, presslike rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where a strong, compact texture is desirable. It can work well for editorial display, packaging, labels, and signage where clear, bold letterforms and sturdy serifs help maintain impact.
The overall tone is sturdy and workmanlike, with a vintage editorial and industrial flavor. Its weight and blocky serifs give it an authoritative, no-nonsense voice that feels practical rather than delicate.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, dependable slab-serif voice with a compact, ink-friendly build and squared terminals that stay crisp and assertive in display typography.
Large apertures are generally restrained, so the texture can become dark and punchy in paragraphs; the numerals and capitals maintain a strong, uniform presence suited to emphatic settings. The slab treatment is consistent across glyphs, helping the face hold together in dense lines and prominent headlines.
