A robust slab serif with heavy, squared serifs and minimal stroke modulation. The letterforms are broad and steady, with compact counters and relatively closed apertures that keep the texture dense and even. Serifs read as strongly bracketed and weighty, with flat terminals and a generally rectangular construction that emphasizes solidity. Curves are smooth but restrained, and the overall rhythm is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a firm, workmanlike color in text.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where a strong, stable presence is desired. It can support editorial layouts, posters, and packaging that benefit from a classic slab-serif voice and a dense typographic texture.
The font conveys a dependable, no-nonsense tone with a hint of industrial and editorial authority. Its strong serifs and dense texture give it a grounded, print-forward feel that reads as confident and practical rather than delicate or expressive.
The design appears intended as a practical, plainspoken slab serif that prioritizes clarity, durability, and consistent typographic color. Its broad proportions and emphatic serifs suggest a goal of delivering impact and reliability in display and editorial contexts.
In the sample text, the weight and tight interior spaces create a dark, cohesive paragraph tone that holds together well at larger sizes. Numerals share the same sturdy construction and slab detailing, supporting utilitarian settings like listings and headings without calling attention to quirky gestures.
