A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions, heavy stems, and clearly defined rectangular serifs. The serifs read mostly square-ended with subtle bracketing, giving joins a slightly softened transition rather than a fully mechanical feel. Counters are generous and open for the weight, with rounded bowls on letters like O, Q, and g balancing the strong horizontal slabs. Stroke modulation is restrained, but visible enough to keep the texture from feeling monolinear, producing an even, confident rhythm in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium passages where a strong typographic voice is needed without sacrificing readability. It fits editorial layouts, book or magazine titling, packaging, and brand systems that want a traditional slab-serif authority with modern solidity. It can also work for signage and posters where broad letterforms and bold serifs help maintain impact at distance.
The overall tone is assertive and editorial, pairing a traditional bookish foundation with a punchy, poster-ready presence. It feels dependable and institutional—more newsroom and heritage branding than playful display—while still projecting warmth through its rounded curves and moderated detailing.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif structure with a contemporary, high-impact texture—prioritizing clarity, robustness, and an even typographic color in bold settings. Its broad proportions and confident serifs suggest a focus on strong hierarchy and dependable readability in prominent text.
Uppercase forms are stable and stately, with a wide stance and clear interior space that keeps the weight from clogging. The lowercase shows familiar, readable shapes with a sturdy, upright posture; the two-storey a and the compact, dark n/m contribute to a dense, consistent line color. Numerals are heavy and clear, with strong horizontals and a solid baseline presence suitable for prominent figures.
