A very heavy slab-serif with pronounced, block-like serifs and subtle bracketing that eases the joins into the stems. Strokes are strongly weighted with clear thick–thin modulation, creating a crisp, high-impact texture in text. Counters are relatively tight and the joins and terminals show small notches and scooped transitions that add a slightly inky, print-like character. Uppercase forms are broad and steady; lowercase is robust and compact, with a sturdy two-storey "g" and a single-storey "a". Numerals are bold and rounded with strong slabs, keeping the overall color dense and even.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and bold editorial typography where strong structure and a dense typographic color are assets. It can also work well for signage and packaging that needs a traditional, authoritative feel, especially when given a bit of extra spacing for clarity.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, with a classic, press-style seriousness. Its heavy slabs and compact rhythm evoke traditional editorial and display typography, leaning toward a slightly retro, poster-ready presence rather than a delicate or minimalist voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable, high-impact slab serif that reads as familiar and practical while still offering enough detail at joins and terminals to feel crafted. It aims to deliver strong presence and legibility in display settings without relying on overtly decorative quirks.
At larger sizes the small notches and scooped joins become part of the personality, suggesting a practical, print-influenced construction. In dense settings the bold weight and tight counters produce a dark, commanding typographic color that benefits from generous tracking and line spacing.
