A sturdy slab serif with heavy, squared-off serifs and a controlled, slightly bracketed join into the stems. Strokes are firm and fairly even, with moderate contrast that shows most clearly in rounded letters and the numerals. Counters are open and generously sized for the weight, while curves (C, G, O, Q) are broad and smooth, balancing the blocky slab details. The overall rhythm is compact and stable, with crisp terminals and a consistent, print-forward texture in paragraph settings.
This face performs well in headlines and subheads, editorial layouts, and display applications where a dense, confident texture is desirable. It also suits branding and packaging that want a classic slab-serif voice with strong readability, and it can carry short passages of text when generous spacing and comfortable sizes are used.
The font reads as confident and traditional, with an editorial, institutional tone. Its hefty slabs and steady proportions give it an authoritative presence that feels at home in heritage branding, bookish headlines, and straightforward communication where seriousness and clarity are preferred over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional slab-serif presence with modern cleanliness: bold, square-ended details for impact, paired with open counters and steady proportions for clarity across display and text-like settings.
Uppercase forms feel particularly monumental and poster-ready, while the lowercase maintains a pragmatic, workmanlike color. Numerals are strong and readable, matching the text weight and maintaining the same squared, grounded stance across the set.
