A robust slab-serif with heavy, squared terminals and gently bracketed joins that soften the slab edges. Strokes show a clear but not delicate contrast, with thick verticals and supportive horizontals that keep the texture dense and steady. Proportions are broad and strongly built, with large, open bowls in capitals and compact, sturdy lowercase forms. The overall rhythm is even and emphatic, with short ascenders/descenders relative to the tall x-height and a solid baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines and display sizes where its strong slabs and broad proportions can deliver impact. It also works well for editorial titles, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a sturdy, classic presence. In short paragraphs it produces a dense, high-ink texture that emphasizes clarity and authority over lightness.
The tone is firm and dependable, evoking traditional print typography with a modern, no-nonsense weight. Its blocky serifs and confident mass read as assertive and authoritative, suited to messaging that needs to feel established and trustworthy.
Designed to deliver a bold, print-forward slab-serif look with strong structure and reliable readability. The combination of weighty serifs, moderate contrast, and broad letterforms suggests an intention to balance traditional credibility with contemporary punch in display and headline settings.
The numerals are heavy and highly legible, matching the letterforms’ square-shouldered construction. In text, the bold color holds together into a strong typographic “voice,” with slab serifs providing clear horizontal cues that reinforce line structure.
