A heavy slab serif with pronounced, bracketed terminals and strong vertical stress. The letterforms are broad and tightly constructed, with compact apertures and sturdy counters that stay open despite the weight. Contrast is evident between thick stems and comparatively finer joins and curves, giving the face a sculpted, carved look rather than a purely monoline slab. Serifs are substantial and squared-off, with softened transitions that keep curves and diagonals from feeling brittle; rounded letters like O/Q show thickened sides and a short, decisive Q tail. Numerals match the muscular tone, with high-impact shapes and clear silhouettes.
Best suited to display settings where weight and presence are an advantage: headlines, posters, mastheads, and bold brand marks. It can also work for packaging and labels that want a sturdy, heritage-leaning voice, especially when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and traditional, projecting authority and stability with a slightly vintage, print-centric flavor. Its dense color and bold slabs add a collegiate or headline-news presence, while the controlled contrast keeps it feeling designed rather than purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif structure: wide, authoritative letterforms, strong serifs, and enough internal contrast to add refinement. It prioritizes a commanding, print-forward voice that reads as confident and established.
In the sample text, the strong stroke weight and large serifs create a dark, even typographic color that holds attention in short bursts. The rhythm is steady and blocky, favoring impact over delicacy, and the heavier joins can make tight settings feel dense at smaller sizes.
