A sturdy slab-serif design with broad, rectangular serifs and gently bracketed joins that soften the otherwise blocky structure. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with heavier verticals and lighter connecting curves, creating a clear, confident rhythm in text. Counters are open and round, terminals are mostly blunt, and several joins show small notches or ink-trap-like cut-ins that add texture at display sizes. Uppercase forms feel wide and planted, while the lowercase stays compact and legible with straightforward, un-fussy shapes.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and branding where a strong slab-serif presence is desired. It can also work for short-to-medium editorial text, pull quotes, and packaging copy where clarity and a traditional, authoritative tone are beneficial.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a classic, slightly vintage voice reminiscent of editorial headlines, institutional signage, and traditional print. Its sturdy slabs and measured contrast give it a serious, dependable feel while the subtle notches and brackets add character without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif voice with enough contrast and shaping to stay readable in text, while retaining distinctive details for display use. Its wide, grounded capitals and confident serifs suggest a focus on impact and institutional credibility rather than delicate refinement.
In the sample text, the face maintains strong word shapes and a steady baseline, with serifs that help guide the eye across lines. Numerals appear sturdy and headline-friendly, matching the weight and presence of the letters rather than feeling delicate or condensed.
