A robust slab serif with heavy, bracketed serifs and mostly squared forms softened by rounded joins and corners. Strokes are strongly weighted with moderate contrast, and curves (notably in C, G, S, and O) are full and steady, giving the face a solid, even color in text. Terminals often finish with rounded or slightly bulbous shapes, and several letters show subtle notches or ink-trap-like cut-ins at joins, adding a practical, workmanlike texture. Spacing reads open enough for display, while the overall rhythm remains consistent across caps and lowercase.
It suits headlines and short-form typography where a strong, stable voice is needed, such as posters, packaging, and signage. The heavy slabs and open, steady letterforms also make it useful for editorial display settings like section heads, pull quotes, and titles where a classic, grounded tone is desired.
The font conveys a dependable, no-nonsense tone with a vintage editorial and industrial undertone. Its thick slabs and softened detailing feel confident and approachable rather than sharp or delicate, suggesting a classic, press-like presence.
The design appears intended as a practical slab serif for impactful display use, balancing traditional slab structures with softened terminals and join detailing to keep the texture friendly and readable at larger sizes.
The lowercase shows a sturdy, utilitarian build with compact counters and noticeable weight in verticals (e.g., b, n, p), while the numerals are similarly blocky and readable. The overall impression is cohesive and steady, with distinctive rounded terminals and subtle join shaping providing character without becoming decorative.
