A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed, blocky serifs and strongly modeled curves. Strokes show clear weight shifts, with fuller verticals and slightly tapered joins, producing a confident, carved look. Counters are moderately open and the overall rhythm is compact, with broad, heavy terminals that keep letters planted on the baseline. The numerals and capitals read evenly and firmly, while the lowercase maintains a traditional, text-ready structure with a pronounced, workmanlike texture.
Well suited to headlines, deck type, posters, and strong typographic branding where a firm slab-serif voice is needed. It can also support editorial uses such as magazine headers, pull quotes, and section titles, and would work well on packaging or signage that benefits from a traditional, sturdy feel.
The tone feels classic and dependable, with a vintage print sensibility that suggests editorial seriousness. Its hefty slabs and sculpted contrast add a slightly rugged, old-style warmth, making it feel authoritative without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a forceful slab-serif presence with traditional letterforms and a distinctly printed, slightly vintage texture. Its proportions and serif treatment prioritize clarity and impact, aiming for confident readability in prominent settings.
At display sizes the pronounced serifs and ink-trap-like interior shaping in some joins give the face a strong, engraved impression. The sample text shows a dense, emphatic color on the page, favoring impact and presence over delicacy.
