A heavy slab-serif with broad, block-like serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. Corners are softened with small radii, giving the letterforms a slightly rounded, cast-metal feel rather than sharp geometric edges. Proportions are compact and sturdy, with ample counters for a bold style; apertures tend to be fairly closed, and terminals often finish in flat, squared ends. The numerals are robust and simple, matching the letters with consistent slab treatment and steady rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and other display roles where a firm typographic voice is needed. It also works well for branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional, durable look, and for signage or labels where bold, stable shapes help maintain presence at a glance.
The font projects a solid, no-nonsense tone—reliable and workmanlike with a classic print pedigree. Its strong slabs and compact shapes feel authoritative and practical, evoking editorial headlines, signage, and traditional publishing rather than delicate or whimsical settings.
The design appears intended as a dependable, general-purpose slab serif with strong presence and straightforward construction. Its softened corners and consistent slab detailing suggest a goal of combining firmness and friendliness while staying highly legible and visually consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
At larger sizes the heavy serifs become a key graphic feature, creating strong horizontal anchoring and a pronounced baseline. In dense text, the weight and relatively closed forms increase color and impact, favoring display and short-copy emphasis over long, airy reading.
