A heavy, slab-serif display face with broad proportions, low stroke contrast, and strongly bracketed serifs that read as blocky yet slightly softened. Curves are full and rounded (notably in C, O, S), while joins and terminals often finish with squared-off slabs and subtle flare, creating a sturdy rhythm. Lowercase forms are compact with a large x-height feel and prominent terminals; the g uses a single-storey form with a pronounced ear, and the t has a chunky crossbar. Numerals are robust and open, with simplified, poster-like construction and consistent weight across straight and curved strokes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where strong presence is needed—posters, packaging fronts, signage, and brand marks. In editorial layouts it can work well for section heads, pull quotes, and masthead-style applications where a dense, authoritative typographic color is desirable.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, combining a classic print flavor with a friendly, slightly old-fashioned warmth. Its bold slabs and rounded counters evoke heritage signage and collegiate or newspaper sensibilities, projecting reliability and emphasis without feeling sharp or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, readable slab-serif voice with classic print character—prioritizing impact, sturdy letterforms, and distinctive terminals for display use rather than delicate refinement.
The texture is dark and even, with noticeable weight in horizontals and a compact interior spacing that increases impact at larger sizes. Several letters show distinctive terminal shapes and swelling at joins that add character and keep the forms from feeling purely geometric.
