A heavy, square-serif text face with blocky, unbracketed slabs and largely uniform stroke weight. The letterforms favor broad proportions and generous horizontal spans, with sturdy stems, blunt terminals, and compact internal counters that hold up under bold weight. Curves are smoothly drawn but controlled, producing round forms (C, O, G) that still feel structured beside the rectangular serifs and flat joins. Numerals share the same solid construction, with clear, stable silhouettes suited to headline sizing.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, posters, and branding where a strong slab-serif texture can carry the message. It can also serve in editorial layouts for callouts or short blocks of text, and works well for signage-style applications that benefit from sturdy forms and clear silhouettes.
The overall tone is assertive and dependable, with a workmanlike, poster-ready presence. Its slab construction and blunt terminals suggest a utilitarian, vintage-leaning voice that feels at home in editorial or branding contexts where strength and clarity matter more than delicacy.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, dependable slab-serif voice with strong readability and high visual impact. Its square serifs and controlled curves suggest an intention to balance classic slab heritage with a clean, contemporary sturdiness.
The rhythm in running text is dense and punchy, with strong vertical emphasis and short, emphatic serifs that create a steady baseline and cap line. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable structure and a consistent, no-nonsense texture in paragraphs.
