A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, rectangular serifs and a compact, blocky build. Strokes are predominantly uniform with only modest modulation, producing a solid, ink-rich color on the page. The serifs read mostly bracketed and firmly attached, with squared terminals and a slightly softened, print-oriented finish. Counters are relatively tight in the lowercase, and the overall rhythm feels steady and deliberate, with ample horizontal presence and strong baseline anchoring.
This font suits headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short blocks of copy where a strong typographic presence is desired. It works well for editorial design, book or magazine display, labels and packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a durable, heritage-leaning slab-serif voice.
The tone is confident and no-nonsense, with a distinctly vintage, press-like character. Its weight and slab structure give it a practical, authoritative voice that feels at home in editorial and utilitarian contexts, while still carrying a classic, slightly rustic warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, dependable slab-serif texture with clear letterforms and strong serifs that reproduce well at display sizes. Its proportions and sturdy detailing suggest an emphasis on impact and readability in print-like, poster and editorial scenarios.
Uppercase forms feel poster-ready and stable, while the lowercase maintains clarity through robust stems and open-enough apertures for a slab serif at this weight. Numerals match the same sturdy construction, designed to hold up in bold setting without looking delicate or refined.
