A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, uniform strokes and compact, squared-off proportions. Serifs are prominent and largely bracketed, giving terminals a solid, grounded finish and creating strong horizontal emphasis in E/F/T and the numerals. Counters are relatively tight and apertures modest, producing a dense, high-ink texture; curves stay controlled and slightly squared, with clear, consistent joins and minimal modulation. The overall rhythm is even and stable, with a confident baseline and a deliberate, poster-friendly presence in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where strong presence and sturdy letterforms are desirable. It also works well for editorial titling, pull quotes, and signage-style applications that benefit from a compact, high-contrast-in-size look and clear slab-serif structure.
The font conveys a blunt, workmanlike confidence—part vintage printing, part institutional signage. Its chunky slabs and compact shapes suggest practicality and strength, lending a no-nonsense tone that can feel collegiate, industrial, or newspaper-like depending on setting.
Designed to deliver a robust, dependable slab-serif voice with a dense texture and strong finishing serifs, optimized for attention-grabbing display use while remaining coherent in short blocks of text. The emphasis appears to be on solidity, clarity, and a classic print-forward feel rather than delicacy or minimalism.
At paragraph scale the texture stays dark and assertive, favoring impact over airiness; the strong serifs help guide the eye across lines while keeping the voice emphatic. Numerals share the same heavy, squared construction, making them visually consistent in headings and callouts.
