A robust slab serif with heavy, bracketed serifs and pronounced, rounded joins that create a soft-shouldered silhouette. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin modulation, with wide bowls and generous internal counters that keep letters open at large sizes. Terminals and corners tend toward rounded or scooped shaping, giving the face a slightly carved, print-like texture rather than a rigid geometric feel. Overall spacing reads comfortable and even, with strong horizontal emphasis from the slabs and a solid baseline presence.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, and short-to-medium display text where its slabs and contrast can read clearly. It works well for editorial layouts, branding, and packaging that call for a classic, dependable voice with strong typographic presence.
The tone is confident and traditional, evoking editorial authority and a heritage, poster-era sensibility. Its bold presence and softened details add warmth, making it feel approachable while still projecting stability and seriousness.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, high-impact slab serif for display use, balancing authority with softened, print-informed detailing for readability and warmth.
In the samples, the weight produces strong color and clear word shapes, with distinctive slab accents on capitals and a notably sturdy figure set suited to prominent numerals. The combination of broad forms and rounded transitions helps mitigate harshness, yielding a friendly, high-impact texture.
