This is a heavy slab-serif with broad proportions and sturdy, bracketed serifs that read as rectangular blocks. Strokes are generally uniform with only mild modulation, giving letters a dense, dark color and a strong horizontal emphasis. Counters are relatively small and tight, terminals are squared, and joins are clean and confident, producing a compact, punchy texture in text. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a compact e with a firm horizontal bar, and overall conservative, upright construction.
Best suited for high-impact applications such as headlines, posters, logo wordmarks, packaging, and signage where strong presence and fast recognition matter. It can work for short editorial decks or pull quotes, but extended text will feel intentionally heavy and attention-grabbing.
The font projects a confident, no-nonsense tone with a classic, workmanlike authority. Its weight and slab structure evoke vintage print, headlines, and collegiate or heritage signage, balancing friendliness in the rounded interiors with a strongly assertive presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual authority with a traditional slab-serif voice—solid, readable shapes built for bold messaging. Its consistent structure and block-like serifs suggest a focus on heritage-flavored display typography that remains clear and stable across varied letter widths.
At display sizes it feels crisp and commanding, while in paragraphs the dense color and tight counters create a bold, poster-like rhythm. Numerals appear sturdy and highly legible, matching the letterforms’ squared, grounded stance.
