A robust slab-serif with substantial, squared serifs and softly bracketed transitions into the stems. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with heavier verticals and lighter connecting strokes, giving the letterforms a crisp, high-ink presence without feeling rigid. Curves are generously rounded and counters are open, supporting clear word shapes, while terminals and joins often soften into subtle rounding; the lowercase includes a single-storey g and a ball-terminal j. Numerals are sturdy and readable with consistent weight distribution and strong horizontal stress.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where a firm, authoritative voice is needed. It also fits editorial layouts, book jackets, and packaging that benefit from a classic slab-serif presence and strong typographic color.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a pragmatic, print-forward solidity. It evokes established editorial typography and institutional signage—serious and reliable rather than delicate or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice with clear contrast and sturdy serifs, balancing traditional forms with softened details for readability and warmth in display and short-text settings.
In text, the heavy slabs and clear contrast create strong horizontal rhythm and emphatic punctuation. The design maintains clarity at larger sizes while retaining enough openness in counters and apertures to stay legible in continuous reading.
