A robust slab serif with heavy, low-contrast strokes and strongly supported, rectangular serifs. The serifs are mostly bracketed, giving corners a slightly softened, ink-friendly feel rather than sharp mechanical joints. Counters are relatively compact and the overall texture reads dark and even, with upright construction and steady rhythm. Terminals and joins feel solid and squared-off, while rounded letters maintain a broad, weighty curve that keeps the face cohesive at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, posters, and editorial titling where a strong typographic anchor is needed. It can also work well for signage and packaging that benefit from sturdy letterforms and a traditional slab-serif voice. In longer settings it will read as emphatic due to its dark, heavy texture, making it more appropriate for short to medium text blocks than delicate, extended reading.
The tone is dependable and authoritative, with a classic, no-nonsense presence. It evokes editorial and institutional printing—confident and grounded—without leaning into novelty. The bold color and slab structure give it a straightforward, sturdy character suited to clear emphasis.
The design intention appears to be a plainspoken, dependable slab serif that prioritizes strength, consistency, and clear presence. Its heavy strokes, bracketed slabs, and compact counters suggest a practical display-and-editorial workhorse meant to hold up in bold typographic hierarchies.
In the sample text, the font maintains a consistent, dense typographic color across mixed-case passages, making it feel impactful even in paragraph-like settings. Numerals appear similarly weighty and stable, matching the letterforms for a unified voice in headlines and labeling.
