A heavy, sturdy slab serif with pronounced, squared serifs and a clearly bracketed, print-like construction. Strokes show strong thick–thin contrast for the genre, with rounded joins and slightly softened corners that keep the mass from feeling purely geometric. The letterforms are broad and stable, with generous caps and compact interior counters; terminals tend to finish in firm slabs that emphasize horizontals. In text, the rhythm is dense and solid, with clear word shapes and a consistent, no-nonsense texture.
Best suited to short-form display uses where impact and solidity matter: headlines, subheads, posters, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also support emphasis in editorial layouts when paired with a lighter text face, maintaining clarity while delivering a strong typographic voice.
The overall tone is bold and authoritative, leaning toward an industrial, poster-ready seriousness. It carries a traditional, press-like voice that feels dependable and emphatic, making statements rather than whispering. The weight and slab structure give it a pragmatic, workmanlike character with an editorial edge.
This design appears intended as a dependable, high-impact slab serif for clear communication—combining traditional slab authority with enough contrast and shaping to feel editorial rather than purely utilitarian.
The lowercase shows a sturdy, slightly old-style flavor in details like the two-storey forms and the curt, squared endings, while numerals and capitals keep a strong, signage-like presence. The contrast and tight counters can create a dark typographic color at smaller sizes, but read cleanly when given space.
