A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, squared serifs and clear bracketing that softens the joins into the stems. Strokes are heavy and largely even, with only modest modulation, creating a dense, graphic texture. Counters are open and round forms stay fairly wide, while terminals and serifs keep a consistent, block-like rhythm. The lowercase is compact and readable with a solid, workmanlike build, and the numerals share the same hefty, grounded presence.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a bold, dependable voice is needed. It can also work for posters, book covers, and branding that benefits from a classic slab-serif presence and strong typographic impact.
The overall tone feels confident and traditional, with an editorial seriousness and a hint of industrial practicality. Its weight and firm slab details communicate stability and authority rather than delicacy.
The design appears aimed at delivering a traditional slab-serif feel with modern solidity: big shapes, strong serifs, and consistent construction for unmistakable emphasis and clear reading in prominent settings.
In text, the face produces a strong horizontal cadence from the slab serifs and a distinctly dark color on the page. The large, simple forms and consistent serif treatment help maintain clarity at display and subhead sizes, while the dense weight can dominate in long passages if set too tightly.
