A sturdy slab-serif with bracketed, block-like serifs and a compact, weighty presence. Strokes show clear contrast, with strong vertical stems and slightly lighter connecting strokes, producing a crisp, print-forward rhythm. Counters are relatively tight in letters like B, P, and R, while round forms (O, Q, 0) stay broad and stable; terminals and joins feel squared and decisive. The lowercase leans toward a sturdy, utilitarian construction with a single-storey g and pronounced slabs on h, n, and u, giving text a dense, uniform color.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other display applications where a strong typographic voice is needed. It can also work for short editorial passages or labels when a dense, authoritative texture is desired, and for packaging or branding that benefits from a sturdy, traditional slab-serif character.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, mixing classic letterpress familiarity with an assertive, poster-ready punch. It feels dependable and authoritative rather than delicate, with a slightly vintage, editorial seriousness.
Likely designed to deliver an impactful slab-serif voice that remains readable and organized in text, balancing classic bracketed serifs with a firm, modern weight. The emphasis appears to be on strong texture, stable proportions, and confident presence for print-oriented design.
In paragraph settings the heavy serifs and tight counters create a strong texture and clear baseline, making the face feel anchored and substantial. The numerals are bold and emphatic, suited to attention-grabbing figures and short runs of data.
