A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions, sturdy rectangular serifs, and mostly square-cut terminals. Strokes are firm and even, with modest contrast and a generally geometric, block-forward construction that keeps counters fairly tight in letters like B, R, and 8. Curves are robust rather than delicate, and joins stay crisp, giving the face a dense, emphatic texture in text. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, with a compact, workmanlike rhythm and strong baseline presence.
Best suited to display sizes where its heavy slabs and wide proportions can carry impact—headlines, posters, and bold editorial styling. It also fits packaging and signage that needs a sturdy, traditional voice, and works well for short text elements like pull quotes, labels, and numeric callouts.
The overall tone is solid and no-nonsense, projecting confidence and durability. Its strong slabs and wide stance evoke classic newspaper, collegiate, and industrial signals—traditional, practical, and slightly rugged rather than refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, legible slab-serif voice with a broad, confident footprint and a distinctly square, engineered finish. It prioritizes visual authority and clarity over delicacy, aiming for consistent, high-impact typography across letters and numerals.
In paragraph settings the weight and tight counters create a dark, consistent color with clear vertical emphasis, while the slab serifs add a steady horizontal cadence. The numerals match the letters’ chunky build, reading as bold, anchored figures suited to attention-grabbing use.
