A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, mostly uniform strokes and squared terminals. Serifs are broad and clearly bracketed, giving joins a slightly softened, ink-friendly feel rather than razor-sharp corners. Counters are relatively tight and the overall color is dense, with compact spacing and a steady rhythm. Uppercase proportions read solid and authoritative, while the lowercase keeps straightforward forms (single-storey a and g) that emphasize clarity and weighty presence.
Best suited to bold editorial settings, headlines, subheads, and display typography where a strong slab-serif voice is desirable. It can also work for branding and packaging that need a sturdy, traditional tone and high contrast against backgrounds, especially in larger text sizes.
The tone is dependable and workmanlike, with a hint of vintage newspaper and signage character. It feels confident and grounded—more about impact and legibility than delicacy—making it read as assertive and no-nonsense in paragraphs and headlines alike.
The design appears intended as a plainspoken, high-impact slab serif that delivers a consistent, dark texture and straightforward letterforms. It prioritizes robustness and readability with traditional proportions and clear, bracketed slabs for a dependable, print-forward feel.
Numerals are wide and stable with strong slab terminals, matching the heavy text color. The sample text shows even texture across lines, with consistent stem weight and a clear, traditional serif silhouette that holds up well at larger sizes.
