A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, square-ended serifs and mostly uniform stroke weight. The forms are compact and upright, with broad, blunt terminals and clear, open counters that keep the dense weight readable. Curves are rounded but disciplined, while joins and serifs stay crisp and rectangular, creating a steady horizontal rhythm. Numerals and capitals appear especially robust, giving the face a strong typographic footprint in display sizes and headings.
This font is well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium text where a firm, attention-getting voice is needed. It can work effectively for editorial display, packaging, and brand systems that want a traditional slab-serif feel with strong contrast against lighter supporting type.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a classic, print-forward presence. Its blocky slabs and firm rhythm evoke editorial authority and a slightly collegiate, poster-like energy. The impression is practical rather than delicate, leaning toward emphasis and clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif structure: bold, rectangular serifs, steady rhythm, and sturdy proportions that maintain legibility while projecting authority. It prioritizes a strong typographic color for display and emphatic messaging.
Across the sample text the bold color holds evenly line to line, with pronounced word shapes and strong baseline stability. The squared serifs and terminals create a consistent texture that reads as intentional and structured, especially in caps and mixed-case settings.
