A stout slab serif with heavy, even strokes and a broad stance. Serifs are square and weighty, with subtle bracketing that softens the joins and keeps the texture from feeling overly rigid. Curves are full and rounded (notably in C, O, S), while vertical stems stay straight and steady, producing a dense, authoritative color in text. The lowercase is straightforward and robust, with a single-storey g and simple, utilitarian forms; counters are moderately open and punctuation feels solid and blunt.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where a strong typographic presence is needed—posters, mastheads, packaging, and branding that benefits from a sturdy, traditional slab-serif voice. It can work for brief editorial subheads or pull quotes, but its dense color suggests avoiding long, small-size body text when a lighter texture is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, combining a classic editorial seriousness with a slightly vintage, collegiate sign-painting energy. Its heavy slabs and stable proportions give it a dependable, no-nonsense voice that reads as confident and traditional rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, dependable slab-serif look with clear, familiar letterforms and a strong rectangular rhythm. It aims for high impact and legibility in display contexts while maintaining a classic, traditional structure.
Capitals feel particularly strong due to wide proportions and prominent slabs, while the numerals match the same sturdy, blocky rhythm for consistent display settings. In paragraph-like sample text the font creates a dark, emphatic texture; spacing looks designed for impact rather than airy elegance.
