A sturdy slab-serif design with heavy, rectangular serifs and predominantly flat stroke endings. Curves are broad and controlled (notably in C, G, O, and S), while joins and corners stay crisp, producing a square-shouldered rhythm. The letterforms feel generously proportioned with solid counters and a consistent, print-oriented texture; numerals match the same robust, block-like construction for a cohesive set.
Best suited to headlines, poster typography, and prominent editorial display where the heavy serifs and blocky construction can carry visual hierarchy. It also fits branding and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, traditional voice, and can work for short emphasis text where strong typographic presence is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and dependable, with a classic, workmanlike presence that reads as editorial and slightly collegiate. Its strong slabs and compact detailing give it a no-nonsense, authoritative voice that can also evoke vintage signage and traditional print craftsmanship.
The design appears intended to deliver a durable, high-impact slab-serif voice with clear, squared terminals and a consistent, print-friendly texture. It prioritizes presence and structure over delicacy, aiming for readability and authority in display settings.
At larger sizes the slab structure becomes a defining graphic feature, while in text the dense weight builds a dark, steady color. Round forms remain open enough to keep the texture from clogging, but the dominant impression is bold mass and clear, squared finishing.
