A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, square-cut serifs and largely even stroke weight. Curves are broad and smooth, while joins and terminals stay blunt and geometric, giving the letters a chunky, engineered feel. Counters are generous and open, and spacing appears steady, supporting clear word shapes in text. The lowercase shows a traditional, readable structure with a two-storey “a,” single-storey “g,” and a solid, upright rhythm; numerals are similarly weighty and straightforward.
Well-suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where a firm, assertive slab-serif voice is desired. It can work effectively for editorial display, branding systems that need a dependable, traditional note, and signage or labels where strong silhouettes help letters stay clear at a glance.
The overall tone is confident and dependable, with a no-nonsense, workhorse presence. Its blocky slabs and calm proportions evoke traditional print typography—serious, stable, and slightly authoritative—without feeling ornate or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, readable slab-serif for display and strong typographic statements, pairing traditional letterforms with blunt, square serifs for emphasis and stability.
The bold slabs remain consistent across straight and curved strokes, helping the design hold together in dense settings. Round letters like O/C/Q keep a smooth bowl shape, while flat terminals and squared serifs reinforce a strong baseline and headline impact.
