A heavy, slab-serif typeface with square-cut, mostly unbracketed serifs and robust, even strokes. The letterforms are compact and strongly built, with large interior counters and clear, geometric stress that reads as straightforward rather than calligraphic. Curves (C, G, O, Q) are broadly rounded but end in firm terminals, while verticals and horizontals keep a consistent, high-ink presence. Numerals match the same sturdy construction, with simple, legible shapes and strong baseline presence.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where strong presence and stability are desired. It also works well for editorial titling and pull quotes, especially when a traditional, authoritative slab-serif feel is needed.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, suggesting dependable, no-nonsense communication. Its bold slabs and compact rhythm also evoke classic collegiate and editorial headline traditions, giving it a familiar, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended to provide a durable, high-impact slab-serif voice with straightforward construction and strong terminals, prioritizing clarity and visual authority in display and titling situations.
In text, the dense color and strong serifs create a pronounced horizontal rhythm, helping short lines and titles feel anchored. At smaller sizes it may feel visually heavy, while at display sizes it delivers crisp, impactful shapes.
