A robust slab serif with thick, rectangular serifs and gently softened corners. Strokes are strongly weighted with restrained contrast, producing an even, steady texture in text. Forms are fairly open with generous counters and clear apertures, while the serifs add a solid horizontal rhythm and firm baselines. Overall proportions read slightly expansive, and the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike construction without pronounced calligraphic flare.
Performs well in headlines, subheads, and display settings where a strong typographic voice is needed. It also suits editorial layouts and branded materials that benefit from a stable, print-forward texture, and can work in packaging or labels where clarity at varying sizes matters.
The tone is dependable and no-nonsense, with a subtle vintage or industrial flavor reminiscent of traditional print and signage. It feels assertive and readable, projecting stability and clarity rather than delicacy or refinement.
Likely designed as a versatile, high-impact slab serif that balances strong presence with consistent readability. The emphasis appears to be on creating a dependable all-purpose display/text companion with classic slab cues and restrained detailing.
In the sample text, the weight and slab structure create a dark, authoritative paragraph color, making it well suited to short-to-medium text blocks where presence is desired. Numerals appear sturdy and highly legible, matching the overall blocky, grounded character.
