A heavy slab serif with broad proportions, squared-off terminals, and pronounced, mostly bracketed serifs that give the shapes a planted, stable feel. Strokes show clear contrast, with strong verticals and slightly finer connecting strokes, producing crisp inner counters and a firm typographic color. The letterforms are built from blunt, rectilinear joins and rounded bowls, balancing hard edges with controlled curvature; spacing reads generous enough for display while keeping a compact, columnar rhythm. Figures are weighty and prominent, matching the capitals in density and presence.
This style performs best in short-to-medium display settings such as headlines, pull quotes, posters, and packaging where its dense weight and squared slabs can project strongly. It can also support large-size editorial titling and signage that benefits from a robust, traditional slab-serif voice.
The overall tone is assertive and dependable, evoking traditional print typography with a sturdy, no-nonsense voice. It feels suited to confident headlines and statements where impact and clarity matter more than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, classic slab-serif presence with high-impact readability, combining traditional serif cues with a more squared, constructed finish for modern display use.
Distinct slab treatment is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping mixed-case text hold an even texture. Round forms (like O/C/G and 8/9) stay full and dark, while sharp diagonals (V/W/X/Y) maintain strong, flat-ended finishes that reinforce the font’s solid, constructed character.
