A sturdy serif with prominent, square-ended slabs and a generally uniform stroke weight. The letterforms show compact curves and firm verticals, with flat terminals and blunt joins that create a blocky, sculpted texture. Counters are moderately open and proportions feel slightly condensed in places, contributing to a dense, print-forward rhythm. Numerals and caps read with strong presence and consistent serif treatment, while lowercase maintains clear shapes with a solid, anchored baseline.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and display typography where strong structure and a bold typographic color are desired. It can also support editorial pull quotes, book covers, and brand marks that benefit from a classic slab-serif authority. For longer passages, it will read best with comfortable sizing and spacing to balance its naturally dense texture.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a collegiate, newsprint-meets-poster sensibility. Its heavy slabs and compact rhythm lend an authoritative, no-nonsense voice that feels established rather than delicate or mannered.
Likely designed to deliver a dependable, high-impact slab-serif voice with square terminals and consistent strokes that reproduce clearly in print and at display sizes. The emphasis appears to be on solidity, clarity, and traditional presence rather than finesse or high-contrast elegance.
In text, the weighty serifs and tight internal spaces build a dark color on the page, making it especially punchy at larger sizes. The square terminals and reduced modulation keep the texture steady and graphic, helping short phrases and headings hold their shape under emphasis.
