A heavy, high-contrast slab serif with broad proportions and strongly bracketed, blocky serifs. Stems read as dark, stable pillars while curves are smoothly modeled, creating a crisp rhythm between thick verticals and finer connecting strokes. Terminals and serifs are square-cut and substantial, giving letters a grounded, poster-like stance; counters stay fairly open for the weight, and spacing feels built for big, emphatic setting. Numerals match the uppercase in mass and presence, with clear, sturdy shapes designed to hold up at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and other display applications where strong typographic presence is needed. It also fits branding and packaging that want a classic slab-serif authority, and it can work for short editorial elements (deck heads, pull quotes, section titles) where dense color and punch are an advantage.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, blending a newsroom/editorial seriousness with a touch of vintage show-card energy. Its weight and contrast make it feel declarative and confident, lending an institutional or “headline authority” voice rather than a delicate or casual one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif structure: big, confident letterforms, pronounced serifs, and clear contrast to create a distinctive, attention-grabbing texture in display typography.
Round letters (like O, C, G) show smooth curvature paired with pronounced slabs, emphasizing the contrast between soft bowls and hard serif geometry. The lowercase keeps a compact, sturdy feel, and the overall color on the page is dense and even, producing strong impact in short lines and titles.
