A heavy, display-oriented slab serif with broad proportions, pronounced serifs, and clear thick–thin modulation. Strokes are assertive and slightly sculpted, with mostly squared terminals and slab-like feet that read as crisp at large sizes. Curves (C, O, S) are full and rounded while joins and counters stay compact, creating a dense, punchy texture. Lowercase forms are sturdy and traditional with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and strong vertical stress; numerals are bold and even, designed to hold their shape in big settings.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, posters, and brand statements where a forceful, classic slab presence is desirable. It can also work for packaging and signage that benefits from bold letterforms and strong silhouettes, particularly at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is bold and self-assured, leaning classic and slightly vintage—like poster and editorial typography meant to command attention. Its weight and slabs add a grounded, no-nonsense feel, while the rounded bowls keep it approachable rather than austere.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a traditional slab-serif voice—balancing classic letterform structure with muscular weight, crisp slabs, and compact counters to keep text looking solid and authoritative.
In continuous text the rhythm is dark and tightly knit, with strong verticals and short internal space that amplify impact. The caps read especially monumental, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, workmanlike clarity suited to display sizes.
