This typeface is a heavy slab-serif with broad proportions and firmly planted, bracketed serifs. Strokes are thick with moderate contrast, producing a dense, dark color on the page, while counters stay relatively open for readability at display and subhead sizes. Terminals tend toward flat, squared endings, and curves are smooth but compact, giving rounds like O and C a solid, weighty feel. The lowercase shows a traditional, text-oriented structure (two-storey a and g, sturdy shoulders and bowls), with a consistent rhythm and slightly compact spacing that helps it hold together in tight settings.
It works best for headlines, deck copy, and short passages where a strong typographic presence is desired. The sturdy slabs and broad stance also suit packaging, labels, and signage where quick recognition and a traditional, authoritative feel are beneficial.
Overall it reads as dependable and authoritative, with a familiar print-era voice. The combination of strong slabs and broad letterforms suggests a confident, institutional tone—serious rather than delicate—suited to messaging that wants to feel established and emphatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif voice with strong impact, balancing traditional letter construction with a bold, wide stance. Its emphasis on sturdy serifs and consistent weight suggests a focus on clear, assertive display typography that remains readable in demanding, high-contrast layouts.
The numerals match the heavy, grounded construction of the letters, with clear, simple forms and stable footing. In the sample text, the face maintains an even, bold texture across mixed case, with slab details staying crisp and prominent at larger sizes.
