A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions, pronounced bracketed serifs, and a strong vertical emphasis. Strokes are thick and crisp, with clear thick–thin modulation that shows most in the curves and joins, while terminals remain firm and squared-off. Counters are relatively compact and the overall texture is dark and steady, producing a dense rhythm in both all-caps and mixed-case setting. Numerals follow the same sturdy construction, with wide forms and solid, anchored feet where applicable.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and display typography where strong presence is needed, including editorial titles, posters, and bold brand statements. It can work in short paragraphs when an intentionally dark, punchy texture is desired, but will feel most comfortable at larger sizes where the compact counters have room to breathe.
The typeface projects a confident, authoritative tone with a classic print feel. Its weight and squared slabs suggest dependability and impact, leaning toward a no-nonsense, editorial voice rather than a delicate or playful one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through sturdy slab serifs, wide letterforms, and controlled contrast, evoking traditional print typography while maintaining a bold, contemporary solidity.
The shapes favor stability over delicacy: curves are rounded but tightly controlled, and the slab serifs add strong horizontal accents that help hold lines together. In the sample text, the bold color and compact internal spaces create an assertive paragraph texture that reads as intentionally emphatic.
