A sturdy slab-serif with thick, even-feeling stems and prominent square-ended serifs. The letterforms are compact and strongly built, with mostly flat terminals, broad shoulders, and a generally squared-off silhouette softened by rounded bowls in characters like O, C, and G. Counters are moderately open for a bold design, and joins stay clean and vertical, producing a steady, no-nonsense rhythm in both caps and lowercase. Numerals follow the same heavy, grounded construction, reading clearly with simple, decisive shapes.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where strong presence and clear structure are needed. It can work effectively in editorial layouts, book covers, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a sturdy, traditional voice with crisp, squared detailing.
The overall tone is confident and authoritative, combining a traditional serif presence with a blunt, workmanlike edge. It feels straightforward and emphatic, with an editorial gravitas that can also lean industrial or institutional depending on context.
Likely designed to deliver an emphatic slab-serif voice that remains readable and controlled in display and editorial settings. The consistent, square-cut detailing and compact proportions aim to project strength, clarity, and a dependable, traditional character.
The uppercase set reads especially strong and formal, while the lowercase maintains a robust, text-ready texture with clear differentiation across similar forms. The heavy slabs create a consistent baseline and cap-line emphasis, giving lines of text a solid, anchored feel.
