A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions and a steady, low-contrast stroke. Serifs are heavy and largely unbracketed, reading as squared-off blocks that anchor the letterforms. Curves are smooth but not delicate, with round counters held in firm, squared joins and terminals; the overall rhythm is even and deliberate. The lowercase shows a compact, workmanlike structure with a single-storey g and simple, upright forms, while capitals are wide and emphatic with strong horizontals and verticals.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where a solid, authoritative serif is needed. It also works for editorial pull quotes, branding wordmarks, and signage that benefits from clear, sturdy shapes and a strong typographic backbone.
The tone is pragmatic and confident, combining a traditional serif foundation with an industrial, no-nonsense presence. Its bold slabs and broad stance give it a poster-ready authority, while the restrained contrast keeps it grounded and functional rather than ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice with broad letterforms and emphatic, square-ended serifs—prioritizing impact, stability, and straightforward readability in display and editorial contexts.
Figures are robust and open, matching the font’s strong baseline and slabbed endpoints. In text, the heavy serifs create a pronounced horizontal texture that can feel assertive at larger sizes and pleasantly stable for short passages.
