A heavy, square-serif slab with firm geometry and blunt, flat-ended terminals. Strokes are thick and largely monoline, with crisp corners and a compact internal rhythm that keeps counters relatively tight. Serifs read as rectangular slabs that bracket stems and arms, creating a strong horizontal/vertical scaffolding. The lowercase is sturdy and workmanlike with single-storey forms (notably a and g), and the numerals follow the same squared, sign-like construction for consistent color in lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short editorial callouts where its weight and slab structure can carry emphasis. It also fits branding and packaging that want a sturdy, heritage-leaning voice, and it can perform well in signage or labels where clear, blocky forms are advantageous.
The overall tone is tough and dependable, with an assertive, no-nonsense presence. Its blocky slabs evoke editorial and collegiate traditions while also feeling industrial and utilitarian, making it read as confident rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through a robust slab-serif skeleton and squared detailing, giving text a strong architectural presence. It prioritizes a consistent, authoritative texture across caps, lowercase, and figures for use in bold, attention-forward typography.
At display sizes the squared joins and abrupt terminals give a poster-like punch, while in longer settings the dense counters and strong serifs produce a dark, emphatic texture. The design favors solidity and clarity over finesse, with a rhythm that feels engineered and uniform.
