A robust slab-serif with heavy, square-leaning serifs and mostly uniform stroke weight. Serifs appear strongly bracketed on many letters, giving the shapes a carved, anchored feel rather than a sharp mechanical cut. Round letters (C, O, G) are generous and open, while verticals and stems read sturdy and straight. The lowercase shows a two-storey a, a compact e with a clear horizontal bar, and a single-storey g with a rounded bowl and ear; terminals stay blunt and stable across the set. Numerals are bold and readable, with substantial curves on 3, 6, 8, and 9 and a straightforward, upright 1.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a firm, high-ink presence is desirable. It can also serve editorial layouts and informational print where a traditional slab-serif voice helps structure hierarchy. The sturdy construction makes it a good candidate for posters, labels, and signage that need clear letterforms at a distance.
The overall tone is solid and dependable, with a classic, print-forward presence. Its strong slabs and calm rhythm evoke utilitarian signage and editorial typography, communicating authority without feeling ornate. The face leans traditional and pragmatic, prioritizing clarity and impact.
This design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice with strong typographic color and straightforward legibility. The combination of heavy slabs, bracketed joins, and open counters suggests a focus on readability and authority across display and extended text settings.
Spacing appears comfortably open in the sample text, helping the dark letterforms avoid clogging at display and text sizes. The cap forms are broad and emphatic, while the lowercase maintains an even texture that supports continuous reading.
