A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed, rectangular serifs and dense, dark color. Strokes are generally even, with blunt terminals and squared-off joins that create a compact, workmanlike rhythm. Counters run on the smaller side in many letters (notably in B, e, a), while round forms like O and Q stay full and stable; overall spacing reads slightly tight and cohesive at text sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same solid, poster-friendly structure, giving the set a consistent, emphatic texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where a strong, compact texture is desirable. It can also work well for labels, packaging, and signage that need a traditional yet forceful presence, especially in high-contrast layouts or monochrome printing.
The font conveys a confident, no-nonsense tone with a classic print sensibility. Its heavy slabs and compact shapes suggest reliability and authority, evoking editorial headlines, traditional signage, and utilitarian branding rather than delicate or airy applications.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust slab-serif voice with strong legibility and a firm typographic footprint. It prioritizes impact and consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals, aiming for dependable performance in display and editorial settings.
Diagonal letters such as K, V, W, X, and Y keep sharp, wedge-like intersections that reinforce the sturdy feel. The lowercase includes a single-storey g and a prominent, vertical stress impression in many forms, contributing to a familiar, old-style-inspired slab voice without appearing ornate.
