A heavy slab serif with dense, dark color and clearly bracketed rectangular serifs. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with thick verticals and slimmer joins, giving counters a slightly sculpted, carved look. The letterforms are upright and broadly proportioned, with generous bowls and strong terminals that keep shapes crisp at large sizes. Lowercase forms feel compact and sturdy, with a readable, traditional structure and a prominent, weighty texture across words.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks where a strong slab presence is desirable, such as posters, signage, and packaging. It can also work for bold editorial applications like section headers, pull quotes, and magazine titling where a traditional, sturdy voice is needed.
The overall tone is bold and dependable, mixing an editorial gravitas with a warm, old-style sturdiness. Its strong slabs and compact curves convey a classic, slightly vintage presence that feels confident and attention-getting without becoming ornamental.
Designed to deliver a high-impact slab serif voice with classic proportions and a firm, authoritative texture. The emphasis appears to be on strong readability at display sizes and a cohesive, workhorse feel for bold typographic emphasis.
The numerals are built with the same robust slabs and pronounced contrast, matching the text color closely and maintaining a consistent rhythm. In running text, the heavy weight and strong serifs create a firm baseline and a punchy, poster-like density.
