A sturdy slab serif with pronounced, squared terminals and subtly bracketed joins that soften the corners. Strokes show clear modulation, with heavier verticals and thinner connecting strokes, giving the letters a crisp, carved rhythm. Counters are relatively open and the overall proportions feel slightly condensed in places, with assertive capitals and compact lowercase forms. Details like the single-storey “a” and “g”, a ball-terminal “j”, and squared-off numerals contribute to a robust, print-forward texture.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where a firm, classic presence is needed. It should perform strongly in posters, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from slab-serif weight and high-impact letterforms while retaining readable, traditional structure.
The font conveys a confident, no-nonsense tone—solid and authoritative without feeling overly ornate. Its slab structure and controlled contrast suggest a classic editorial voice with a touch of vintage signage energy, making it feel dependable and attention-getting.
The design appears intended to combine classic slab-serif authority with a slightly refined, contrasted construction, producing a strong typographic voice that reads as both practical and characterful in prominent text settings.
The serifs are thick and consistent, producing strong horizontal anchoring and clear word shapes at display sizes. The sample text shows even color and stable spacing, with punctuation and figures matching the same blocky, grounded construction.
