A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions and a compact, high-ink texture. Strokes are sturdy with mostly flat, square-ended serifs and terminals, creating a strong rectangular rhythm across lines. Curves are full and controlled, with moderate stroke modulation and smooth joins that keep counters open even at bold sizes. Spacing appears even and generous for a display-oriented slab, supporting stable word shapes and clear numerals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and prominent editorial typography where a strong typographic voice is needed. The dense weight and slab construction also work well for branding, labels, and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, trustworthy presence.
The overall tone is confident and institutional, balancing a classic print feel with a blunt, no-nonsense solidity. It reads as dependable and emphatic, lending a slightly collegiate or newspaper-like authority to headlines and short blocks of copy.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact and legibility through bold slab serifs, broad proportions, and a steady, rectangular cadence. It prioritizes clarity and authority, evoking traditional print typography while staying direct and utilitarian.
Capitals feel especially weighty and grounded, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike structure without calligraphic flourish. The numerals match the letterforms in heft and squareness, reinforcing a consistent, sturdy color in text and display settings.
