A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, squared serifs and compact proportions. Strokes are strongly weighted with moderate contrast, and many joins show subtle bracketing that softens the otherwise blocky structure. Counters are relatively tight in letters like B, P, and e, while round forms (O, C, G) stay broad and stable, giving a grounded rhythm. The lowercase shows a clear, conventional construction with a two-storey a, a simple open c, and an e with a firm horizontal bar; overall spacing feels economical and dense, supporting strong color in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short editorial blocks where a strong typographic color is desirable. It can also serve branding and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, traditional slab-serif voice, and for signage-like applications where clarity and firmness matter.
The tone is assertive and dependable, with a classic, workmanlike presence that recalls traditional print and institutional typography. Its weight and slab detailing give it a confident, no-nonsense voice suited to emphatic messaging. The overall feel is established rather than trendy, leaning toward heritage and practicality.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, highly readable slab-serif with a compact, print-friendly rhythm. Its squared terminals and robust serifs emphasize stability and impact while keeping letterforms conventional enough for efficient scanning in display and short text settings.
In the sample text, the heavy stems and squared serifs produce pronounced texture and clear word shapes, especially at larger sizes. The numerals appear sturdy and straightforward, matching the letters’ solid, rectangular logic and maintaining consistent visual weight across mixed alphanumeric settings.
