A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions and an even, low-contrast stroke. Serifs are heavy and largely unbracketed, ending in flat, squared terminals that give the outlines a crisp, blocky presence. Counters are open and the curves are controlled rather than calligraphic, producing a steady rhythm in both capitals and lowercase. Numerals and punctuation match the same robust, rectangular logic, keeping the texture consistent in text.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where a bold, stable serif voice is needed, and it also performs confidently in editorial contexts that benefit from a strong typographic texture. The robust slabs and broad letterforms can hold up well in posters, signage, and packaging where clarity and impact are important.
The overall tone feels traditional and authoritative, with a pragmatic, workmanlike solidity. Its squared slabs add a slightly industrial, no-nonsense flavor while still reading as classic and familiar in longer passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a reliable, high-presence slab-serif voice: broad, sturdy forms with squared terminals for clarity and firmness in display and text-forward applications. It prioritizes consistent rhythm and strong structure to project authority without relying on high contrast or decorative detailing.
The font’s wide stance and strong serifs create a dark, stable color on the page, especially in mixed-case text. It maintains clear silhouettes and firm baselines, favoring structure and consistency over flourish.
