A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, bracketed serifs and largely monolinear strokes. The shapes feel compact and well-contained, with generous counters and rounded joins that soften the otherwise robust construction. Curves are broad and steady, while verticals and horizontals carry similar weight, creating an even, workmanlike rhythm. Figures are solid and straightforward, with clear silhouettes and consistent spacing that supports headline use and short-to-medium text.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a strong slab presence is desired. It can also work for editorial and informational settings—labels, packaging, and signage—where sturdiness and clear letterforms help maintain readability at a range of sizes.
The overall tone is dependable and no-nonsense, with a classic, slightly industrial warmth. It reads as confident and grounded rather than delicate or flashy, giving copy a stable, established voice.
The design appears intended as a plainspoken slab-serif workhorse: strong, legible letterforms with softened details for comfortable reading and broad utility across display and text-forward applications.
Serifs appear blocky with modest bracketing, helping strokes transition smoothly and preventing the design from feeling overly sharp. The lowercase maintains clear differentiation between letters, and the overall color on the page is dark and steady, lending emphasis without relying on high contrast details.
