A sturdy slab serif with heavy, squared terminals and subtly bracketed joins that soften the blockiness. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation, producing a dense color on the page. Proportions feel compact with broad counters and strong verticals; round letters stay fairly circular while corners and joins remain crisp. The lowercase shows a straightforward, workmanlike construction with single-storey forms where expected (notably the g), short-to-moderate extenders, and a generally consistent rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and other display settings where a strong, stable presence is needed. It can also support short editorial runs or packaging/branding applications that benefit from a bold, traditional slab-serif authority.
The tone is solid and no-nonsense, with a familiar, traditional voice that reads as dependable and assertive. Its heavy serifs and compact massing give it a slightly vintage editorial feel without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a straightforward, versatile slab serif that prioritizes clarity and firmness, delivering a consistent, high-impact texture for prominent typographic roles.
In the text sample the face holds together as a dark, even texture, emphasizing emphasis and impact over delicacy. Numerals appear sturdy and clear, matching the overall squared, slabby character.
