A robust slab serif with heavy, square-ended serifs and a strong, even vertical rhythm. Strokes are thick with moderate contrast, and curves are broadly drawn with slightly softened joins that keep the texture from feeling brittle. Counters are relatively compact and apertures are tight, producing a dense, authoritative color in text. Terminals and slabs read as flat and block-like, giving the design a grounded, mechanical clarity while maintaining consistent proportions across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where a firm, high-impact slab serif is desired. It can anchor editorial typography, packaging, and branding systems that need a traditional yet industrial feel, and it holds up well for signage or display settings where strong serif structure improves presence.
The font conveys a sturdy, no-nonsense tone—confident and dependable with a classic, workmanlike presence. Its heavy slabs and compact interior spaces lend it an editorial seriousness, while the squared finishing details add an industrial, utilitarian edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum solidity and clarity through heavy slabs and compact spacing, creating a dependable, attention-holding texture. It prioritizes a bold, authoritative voice with straightforward, squared detailing that reads cleanly in prominent sizes and dense settings.
In the sample text, the weight and slab structure create strong word shapes and a dark, consistent paragraph tone. The numerals match the letterforms in mass and stance, reinforcing a unified, punchy texture suitable for assertive typographic voice.
