A robust slab-serif with heavy, rectangular serifs and broadly even stroke weight. The letterforms show compact curves and firm, squared terminals that give a stable, built-up texture on the page. Counters are moderately open, with a slightly condensed, vertical rhythm in the capitals and a straightforward, workmanlike lowercase; the overall spacing reads solid rather than airy. Numerals match the same sturdy construction, with clear, traditional forms and strong baseline presence.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where a strong serif presence is desirable. It also fits editorial layouts, book/display titling, and packaging or branding that benefits from a sturdy, traditional slab-serif feel.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with a confident, no-nonsense voice. Its slab-serifs and dense color suggest practicality and reliability, evoking newspaper/editorial typography and institutional print.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice with strong structure and clear, traditional shapes, prioritizing impact and legibility over delicacy. Its consistent weight and firm terminals aim to hold up in dense text blocks while remaining distinctive in display settings.
In text sizes the face creates a dark, consistent typographic color, making it feel grounded and emphatic. The squared slab details remain prominent in both caps and lowercase, helping maintain character in headlines and short paragraphs.
