A heavy slab-serif design with pronounced, square-ended serifs and strong vertical stems. Curves are broad and smooth, while joins and terminals stay firm and flat, giving the letterforms a blocky, constructed feel. The lowercase shows sturdy proportions with a relatively large x-height and short ascenders/descenders, supporting dense setting; counters are open but not generous, and spacing reads slightly tight in the sample text. Numerals match the overall weight and presence, with round forms kept full and stable.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where its slab serifs and weight can deliver impact. It also works for editorial pulls, packaging, and branding that want a strong, traditional-industrial voice, and for signage where firmness and clarity are prioritized over delicacy.
The overall tone is solid and authoritative, leaning toward an industrial and collegiate sensibility. Its bold, squared details create a no-nonsense voice that feels dependable and slightly retro, like classic print and signage work.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold, highly legible slab-serif presence with squared terminals and a compact, sturdy rhythm. Its emphasis on strong stems and confident serifs suggests an intention to evoke classic print traditions while remaining punchy and practical for modern display use.
The design maintains consistent heft across straight and curved strokes, and the slab serifs remain visually prominent at both large and text sizes. In paragraph-style setting it creates a dark, emphatic texture, with strong rhythm from repeated verticals and sturdy serifs.
