A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, squared serifs and softly rounded transitions. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal contrast, producing a dense, confident texture in both headlines and short text. The letters show compact proportions and simple, workmanlike construction, with clearly defined counters and a consistent rhythm across the alphabet. Numerals are solid and straightforward, matching the overall weight and serif treatment for a cohesive set.
Well suited to headlines, posters, signage, and branding where a robust, readable slab-serif is needed. It can also work effectively on packaging and labels, especially in applications that benefit from a classic, utilitarian voice and strong typographic presence.
The overall tone is dependable and approachable, with a subtly vintage, industrial feel. Its weight and slab structure give it a grounded, authoritative presence without looking sharp or delicate, making it feel familiar and readable.
Likely designed as a versatile, everyday slab-serif that prioritizes solidity and legibility while keeping a warm, slightly traditional character. The consistent weight and straightforward detailing suggest an emphasis on dependable performance across common display and general-purpose settings.
Serifs appear broad and supportive, contributing to strong horizontal emphasis and stable word shapes. The design favors clarity over ornament, with consistent terminals and a uniform, no-nonsense silhouette that holds up well at larger sizes.
