A robust slab-serif with broad proportions, low stroke contrast, and square-cut terminals throughout. The serifs are heavy and mostly unbracketed, giving the forms a blocky, constructed feel, while counters stay open enough to maintain clarity. Curves (C, G, O, S) are round but firmly controlled, and straight stems and arms end in flat, emphatic slabs. Spacing and widths feel generous, producing a steady, readable rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and short paragraphs where a firm, impactful serif voice is needed. It fits editorial layouts, brand identities, packaging, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, print-forward texture and high letter presence.
The overall tone is solid and utilitarian, with an editorial confidence that suggests reliability rather than delicacy. Its strong slabs and straightforward construction evoke traditional print typography with a contemporary, no-nonsense edge.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, dependable slab-serif voice with clear, square-ended details and broad proportions. It prioritizes firmness and legibility, creating a distinctive texture for display and editorial typography.
The numerals follow the same sturdy logic as the letters, with flat-ended strokes and clear silhouettes that read well at display sizes. In text, the heavy serifs create a strong horizontal emphasis and a distinctly typographic texture.
