A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions and compact, block-like letterforms. Strokes are heavy with visible, moderate contrast, and the serifs read as thick slabs with subtle bracketing rather than razor-sharp joins. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend toward closed, giving the face a dense, punchy texture. Terminals are squared and decisive, and the overall rhythm feels even and deliberate, producing strong color in lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where a firm, authoritative impression is needed—headlines, deck copy, posters, and branding that benefits from a robust slab-serif voice. It can also work for short editorial passages or pull quotes when a dense, high-impact typographic color is desired.
The tone is confident and traditional, with an editorial gravitas that feels suited to established institutions. Its weight and squared finishing lend a no-nonsense, dependable voice, while the moderate contrast keeps it from feeling purely industrial. Overall it reads as assertive, formal, and slightly old-style in spirit.
This design appears intended to deliver a strong slab-serif presence with classic, print-oriented proportions—prioritizing impact, stability, and a confident reading texture over delicacy. The consistent, squared detailing suggests a focus on reliable, versatile display typography for editorial and brand applications.
In the sample text, the face maintains strong legibility at large sizes, with a compact internal space that amplifies its dark presence. The numerals match the letters in heft and squareness, supporting emphatic, attention-grabbing settings.
