A robust slab-serif with heavy, bracketed serifs and pronounced stroke contrast that gives counters and joins a carved, poster-like clarity. The letterforms are broadly proportioned with compact inner spaces and a steady vertical stress, creating a strong typographic “color” on the page. Terminals and serifs are thick and squared-off, with slight rounding/bracketing at joins that softens the otherwise blocky geometry. Lowercase shapes are straightforward and workmanlike, with sturdy stems and relatively tight apertures that emphasize density and impact.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and bold editorial callouts where its slab structure and contrast can carry authority. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a sturdy, traditional voice, especially when set with ample leading and tracking.
The overall tone is solid and dependable, with a classic, no-nonsense presence that reads as traditional and slightly industrial. Its boldness and strong serifs lend it an assertive voice suited to attention-getting, while the familiar slab construction keeps it grounded and utilitarian rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable, heavy-duty slab for display use—prioritizing impact, clear silhouette, and a familiar, workhorse feel. Its thick serifs and confident verticals suggest a goal of delivering authority and legibility in prominent typographic roles.
In text, the weight and contrast produce strong rhythm and clear word shapes, but the dense counters and tight apertures suggest it will feel most comfortable at larger sizes or with generous spacing. Numerals appear similarly weighty and display-oriented, matching the font’s overall emphasis on impact and solidity.
