A heavy, sturdy slab-serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and a strongly sculpted, high-ink silhouette. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with rounded joins and occasional ball-like terminals in the lowercase. Proportions feel generously set with broad letterforms and compact internal counters, giving the design a dense, impactful color on the page. The lowercase is straightforward and readable, while capitals have a classic, sign-like solidity and strong vertical emphasis.
Works best for display use where strong typographic presence is desired—headlines, posters, cover lines, branding marks, and packaging. It can also support short editorial blocks or pull quotes where a dense, authoritative texture is appropriate.
The overall tone is bold and assured, leaning traditional and editorial rather than playful. Its slab-serifs and weight convey dependability and authority, with a slightly vintage, print-forward character suited to assertive messaging.
Designed to deliver a no-nonsense slab-serif voice with strong readability and a classic, print-informed structure. The intention appears to prioritize impact, stability, and clear letter recognition in prominent sizes.
The numerals are chunky and highly legible, matching the weight and serif treatment of the letters for consistent texture in mixed text. In paragraph settings, the heavy forms create strong rhythm and word-shape, favoring emphasis and presence over delicate detail.
