A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions, sturdy verticals, and pronounced, block-like serifs that often show subtle bracketing into the stems. Curves are full and slightly squarish in their transitions, keeping counters generous even at the bold weight. Terminals and joints feel firm and deliberate, with a consistent stroke rhythm and a strong baseline presence; the lowercase is sturdy with a single-storey “g” and a compact, workmanlike “a.” Numerals are similarly weighty and stable, matching the overall rectangular, poster-friendly texture.
This face is well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, posters, and packaging where strong impact and clear letterforms are needed. It also works for editorial titling and branding that wants a traditional, sturdy voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the slab details and broad proportions read cleanly.
The tone is assertive and dependable, with a classic, print-forward flavor that reads as traditional and slightly collegiate. Its strong slabs and broad stance convey authority and solidity rather than delicacy, making it feel confident and straightforward.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact slab-serif voice with classic structure, emphasizing stability, readability, and a bold typographic presence for display settings.
Spacing and shapes create a dense, even typographic color that stays legible in large blocks. The serif treatment adds a familiar, bookish structure while the bold massing pushes it toward display use.
