A heavy slab-serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and broadly squared terminals. The letterforms are built on sturdy vertical stems with slightly rounded inner corners, giving the dense shapes a controlled, print-like warmth. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are modest, producing a compact texture in paragraphs. Curves (C, G, O, Q) are full and weighty, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) remain firm and consistent; numerals are similarly bold with clear, simplified forms.
This design is well-suited to headlines, posters, and display settings where a dense, authoritative presence is desirable. It can also work for editorial titling and pull quotes, as well as branding and packaging that benefit from a traditional, sturdy slab-serif texture.
The font projects a strong, no-nonsense voice that feels grounded and dependable. Its bold slabs and compact rhythm suggest classic print authority—confident and practical rather than delicate or ornamental.
The font appears intended to deliver maximum impact and clarity through bold, bracketed slabs and compact proportions, echoing classic print-era slab serifs while staying clean and highly legible at display sizes.
Spacing appears tuned for solid text color at larger sizes, with a notably dark overall tone. The lowercase shows sturdy serifs and compact bowls, reinforcing a cohesive, emphatic presence across headlines and short blocks of copy.
