A heavy, sturdy slab serif with blunt, squared serifs and minimally modulated strokes. The letterforms are broad and open, with rounded bowls and a generally straight, stable stance. Serifs read as thick, block-like feet with slight bracketing in places, and terminals often finish with flat, squared cuts. Counters stay fairly open at text sizes, while the overall color is dense and emphatic.
This face is well suited for headlines, posters, and bold editorial typography where strong presence and clear letter shapes matter. It can also work effectively for packaging, signage, and brand marks that want a rugged, traditional slab-serif feel, and for short text blocks where a firm, dense texture is desirable.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, with a utilitarian, print-forward character that nods to traditional editorial and poster typography. Its strong slabs and blunt terminals give it an assertive, no-nonsense voice that can feel both classic and industrial.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful slab-serif voice with simple, squared finishing and a strong typographic color, optimized for impactful display use while remaining legible in short text settings.
The numerals and uppercase maintain a consistent, sturdy rhythm suited to big sizes, while the lowercase keeps clear silhouettes for short passages. The design favors strong horizontals and rectangular joins, producing a solid texture and high impact in lines of text.
