A heavy slab-serif design with pronounced, squared serifs and strong vertical stress. Strokes show clear contrast: thick stems paired with noticeably thinner joins and cross-strokes, giving the letterforms a crisp, carved rhythm. Curves are broad and slightly flattened at their extremes, while counters stay fairly open for the weight. The lowercase reads compact and sturdy, with a single-storey “g,” a small, firm ear on “g,” and a short, rectangular-shouldered “r.” Numerals are similarly weighty and straightforward, with squared terminals and stable proportions that align well in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where a firm slab-serif voice is needed. It also fits packaging, signage, and branding applications that benefit from sturdy letterforms and high-impact text color, while remaining readable in medium-size editorial settings.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, combining a classic editorial gravity with a slightly industrial, poster-like punch. It feels traditional without being delicate, projecting dependability and emphasis rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, dependable slab-serif voice with strong typographic color, balancing classic serif structure with squared, utilitarian terminals for impactful display and robust text emphasis.
At display sizes the sharp slab endings and contrast create a strong, rhythmic texture; in smaller settings the dense weight can darken paragraphs, so spacing and leading will matter. The caps have a broad, sign-like presence, and the punctuation and figures visually match the same rugged, squared finish.
