A heavy, strongly constructed slab serif with squared, bracketed serifs and a compact, print-like rhythm. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin contrast for a slab, with firm verticals and rounded bowls that stay crisp at joins. Counters are moderately open but visually tightened by the weight, and curves terminate in blunt, confident endings rather than delicate tapers. Overall proportions read broad and steady, with consistent, workmanlike detailing across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to display settings where impact matters: headlines, subheads, posters, and bold callouts. It can also serve as a branding or packaging slab where a traditional, trustworthy feel is desired, and it holds up well in short paragraphs at larger text sizes.
The tone is bold and dependable, evoking traditional printing and no-nonsense signage. Its weight and assertive serifs give it a confident, authoritative voice suited to straightforward messaging and classic, slightly vintage editorial flavor.
The design appears intended as a practical, straightforward slab serif that prioritizes strength and clarity over ornament. Its broad stance and emphatic serifs suggest a workhorse display font meant to deliver confident, readable typography with a classic print sensibility.
The uppercase has a strong, poster-ready presence, while the lowercase remains sturdy and legible with simple, familiar forms. Numerals appear solid and highly visible, matching the letterforms’ blocky texture for cohesive typographic color in short runs.
