A robust slab-serif with heavy, mostly uniform strokes and broad, block-like serifs that read as slightly bracketed rather than razor-sharp. The letterforms have generous proportions and open counters, with a steady rhythm and clear vertical stress. Curves are full and smoothly drawn (notably in C, O, and S), while joins and terminals stay squared and weighty, giving the design a grounded, no-nonsense texture. Numerals are substantial and highly legible, matching the uppercase weight and presence.
This font suits short-to-medium text where strong presence is desirable—headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and packaging or brand lockups. It also works well for labels and signage thanks to its sturdy serifs and open forms that hold up at distance and in high-contrast reproduction.
The overall tone is solid and authoritative, evoking classic print typography and pragmatic signage. Its mass and steady cadence feel dependable and matter-of-fact, with a subtle editorial warmth rather than a purely industrial coldness.
The design appears intended as a dependable slab-serif workhorse with a bold, classic voice—built to deliver strong emphasis, consistent texture, and straightforward readability across display and supportive editorial settings.
In text, the dark color and wide stance produce strong line presence, making the face feel emphatic and stable. The shapes maintain consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures, favoring clarity and durability over delicacy or flourish.
