A sturdy slab serif with heavy verticals and clear stroke contrast, combining broad, squared slabs with subtly shaped (often wedge-like) terminals. The forms are compact and strongly built, with tight apertures and dense counters that create a dark, even text color. Curves are full and slightly compressed, and joins are deep and confident, giving letters a carved, print-forward feel. Lowercase shows a traditional, bookish construction with a two-storey a, a compact e, and a g featuring a rounded ear/terminal; numerals are weighty and strongly serifed.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where a strong, classic slab serif voice is desired. It can work for editorial branding, book and magazine covers, posters, and packaging where bold typography needs to feel traditional and sturdy.
The overall tone is authoritative and traditional, evoking editorial and institutional typography. Its mass and contrast read as confident and serious, with a slightly vintage, print-era flavor rather than a minimalist or tech-neutral voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a commanding slab-serif presence with high legibility at larger sizes and a distinctly print-oriented texture. It prioritizes strong structure, clear serif cues, and a compact rhythm to convey authority and durability.
At display sizes the slab detailing and contrast become more expressive, while in text settings the tight counters and heavy weight produce a strong, dark rhythm. The punctuation and curves feel deliberately shaped rather than geometric, reinforcing a classic, newspaper-like presence.
