A robust slab-serif with broad, squared serifs and gently bracketed joins. Stems are heavy and stable, with moderate stroke modulation that shows most clearly in curved forms and terminals. Counters are relatively compact, giving the letters a dense, authoritative rhythm, while round characters (O, C, G) stay smooth and open enough to read cleanly at display sizes. The lowercase is traditional and workmanlike, with a two-storey a and g and sturdy, square-shouldered details throughout; numerals are similarly weighty and straightforward.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where its strong slab serifs and dense color can anchor a layout. It also fits branding, packaging, and signage that benefit from a classic yet forceful voice, and can work in short-to-medium text blocks when generous leading and size are used to preserve openness.
The overall tone is confident and no-nonsense, balancing a classic, institutional feel with a slightly contemporary punch. It reads as dependable and editorial, suggesting print heritage, headlines, and serious messaging rather than playful or delicate applications.
The design appears intended to deliver a sturdy, print-rooted slab-serif voice with clear, traditional letterforms and enough contrast to keep large text lively. Its emphasis is on impact, consistency, and readability in display and editorial contexts.
The serif treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive texture in paragraphs and a strong silhouette in titles. Spacing appears even and purposeful, producing solid word shapes with a firm baseline presence.
