A robust slab-serif design with heavy, rectangular serifs and minimal stroke modulation, giving the forms a solid, even rhythm. Serifs appear broadly bracketed and consistently applied, with squared terminals and a generally compact, workmanlike construction. Counters are open and proportions are balanced, supporting clear letter recognition in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals share the same sturdy, grounded structure, with strong horizontal footing and stable curves.
Well-suited to editorial layouts, reports, and general-purpose typography where a sturdy serif voice is desired. It can handle headlines and subheads with presence, while remaining readable for longer passages in print and on screen. The dependable structure also fits straightforward branding and packaging that benefits from a grounded, traditional-meets-industrial feel.
The font conveys a dependable, no-nonsense tone—confident and slightly industrial, with an editorial seriousness. Its weight distribution and firm serifs create an authoritative presence without feeling ornate or delicate.
The design appears aimed at being a reliable slab-serif workhorse: strong serifs for anchoring and emphasis, straightforward letterforms for clarity, and a consistent, low-modulation build for predictable performance across sizes.
The overall texture is dark and steady, producing a clear typographic color in paragraphs. Curves and joins feel controlled rather than calligraphic, and the serif treatment helps anchor lines for predictable reading flow.
