This is a sturdy slab-serif with heavy, squared serifs and mostly bracketed joins that soften transitions into the stems. Strokes are dense and fairly even, with moderate contrast and a compact, emphatic rhythm. The capitals are broad and stately, while the lowercase shows clear, traditional shapes with a two-storey a and g, a generous x-height, and strong, vertical stress. Terminals tend toward flat, squared endings, and counters stay relatively tight, producing a high-ink, print-forward texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where a firm, high-impact serif is desirable. It can also work for branding and packaging that needs a traditional, trustworthy feel, and for editorial layouts where a strong typographic voice is an asset.
The overall tone is solid and authoritative, with a classic, newspaper-like presence. It reads as confident and practical rather than delicate, conveying reliability and a slightly old-school editorial character.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold slab-serif presence with clear, conventional letterforms and a compact, ink-rich texture, balancing strong serifs with readable proportions for attention-grabbing typography.
In the sample text, the weight and tight internal space create a dark color on the page that holds up well at display sizes and remains structured in longer lines. Numerals share the same blocky, slabbed construction, keeping a consistent voice across text and figures.
