A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, square-ended serifs and a compact, tightly controlled rhythm. Strokes are generally monolinear with modest modulation, and the joins and terminals read crisp and deliberate. Uppercase forms are broad and stable, with prominent slabs on letters like E, F, T, and I that create strong horizontal emphasis. Lowercase is solid and workmanlike, with a two-storey a and g, sturdy verticals, and relatively closed counters that concentrate the color on the line. Numerals are hefty and emphatic, matching the overall blocky texture and strong baseline presence.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display copy where strong structure and impact are needed. It can also serve in editorial and branding contexts that want a classic slab-serif presence, and in signage or packaging where sturdy letterforms help maintain clarity at a glance.
The font conveys a no-nonsense, authoritative tone—practical and dependable rather than delicate. Its weighty slabs and compact proportions suggest classic print credibility, with an assertive voice well suited to attention-getting text.
Likely intended as a punchy, print-forward slab serif that delivers strong emphasis and a dependable, traditional tone. The consistent, square serif structure and compact build suggest a focus on bold communication and high visual authority in display sizes.
The design maintains consistent serif treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a dense, even typographic color. The bold slabs and somewhat tight interior spaces imply it benefits from a bit of breathing room in tracking and line spacing when used in longer passages.
