A robust slab serif with thick, bracketed serifs and subtly rounded outer corners that soften the otherwise squared structure. Strokes are heavy and steady with moderate contrast, giving the letters a strong, planted rhythm. Capitals are wide and authoritative, while the lowercase shows compact proportions with clear, open counters and straightforward two-storey forms where expected. Figures are weighty and readable, matching the texture of the text and maintaining a consistent, even color across lines.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial layouts where strong typographic color and stability are desirable. It can also work for packaging and branding that needs a trustworthy, traditional feel, and for posters or signage where weight and clarity are priorities.
The overall tone feels dependable and no-nonsense, with a classic editorial presence. Its chunky slabs and steady rhythm read as practical and confident, suggesting a traditional, slightly industrial seriousness rather than elegance or delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, steady slab-serif voice that remains readable and cohesive in running text while projecting authority in display settings. Its squared terminals and sturdy serifs emphasize impact and durability without resorting to extreme contrast or stylization.
The design leans on broad, flat terminals and firm verticals, but the gentle bracketing and rounding prevent it from feeling overly rigid. In paragraphs it produces a dense, emphatic texture that holds attention, particularly at larger sizes where the slab details become part of the voice.
