A heavy, slab-serif design with squared, block-like serifs and subtly bracketed joins that soften the corners without losing mass. Strokes are thick and confident with moderate modulation, giving rounded letters like C, G, O and Q a full, weighty silhouette. The face shows generous counters and a steady baseline, while the overall texture stays dense and punchy in paragraphs. Numerals are robust and straightforward, matching the strong, grounded rhythm of the letters.
Best suited to headlines, mastheads, and display settings where strong serifs and dense color are an advantage. It can also support bold editorial styling—pull quotes, section openers, and short subheads—plus branding and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, traditional slab-serif voice.
The tone is confident and no-nonsense, leaning toward traditional print authority rather than delicate refinement. Its bold, blocky slabs evoke collegiate and newspaper headline energy, delivering a dependable, workhorse seriousness with a touch of vintage solidity.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif structure, combining square-ended strength with slight bracketing for smoother readability. It prioritizes a solid, authoritative texture that remains consistent from caps to lowercase and numerals.
Uppercase forms read especially commanding, with broad proportions and prominent serifs that hold up well at larger sizes. In running text, the heavy color and crisp terminals create a strong typographic presence that favors emphasis and impact over light, airy spacing.
