A robust slab-serif with generous proportions and strongly bracketed serifs. Strokes are heavy and compact with subtly rounded corners and a mild, consistent contrast that keeps the color even in text. The x-height is notably tall, counters are open, and curves are full, giving lowercase forms a steady, readable rhythm. Terminals tend toward horizontal cuts and squared finishes, while numerals and capitals feel broad and emphatic, lending the design a solid, anchored presence.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and display typography where a strong serif voice is desired. It can also serve editorial pull quotes, mastheads, and packaging or branding applications that benefit from a sturdy, classic slab-serif feel and high visual impact.
The tone is confident and dependable, blending a traditional, print-forward voice with a slightly approachable warmth from its rounded joins and ample counters. It reads as authoritative without feeling severe, making it well suited to bold statements that still need clarity.
Likely designed to deliver a bold slab-serif look that remains readable and controlled in real-world layouts. The wide stance, tall lowercase, and bracketed slabs suggest an intention to combine traditional serif cues with modern, high-impact usability.
In the sample text, the font maintains strong word shapes and stable line texture at large sizes, with serifs and heavy stems creating clear horizontal structure. The design emphasizes weight and presence, so spacing and counters do much of the work to preserve legibility in dense settings.
