A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions and sturdy, rectangular serifs that read as slightly bracketed rather than purely geometric. Strokes are generally even and dense, with subtle modulation showing up in curved joins and in the way bowls meet stems, giving the face a faintly sculpted, inked quality. Counters are relatively compact and apertures tend to be on the closed side, contributing to a dark, punchy color in text. The lowercase shows a robust, workmanlike rhythm with firm terminals and prominent serifs on key letters, while the numerals are round and weighty with strong baseline presence.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short passages where a forceful slab-serif voice is desired. It performs well in posters, packaging, and signage thanks to its thick strokes and stable serifs, and can support editorial display work where a classic, authoritative tone is appropriate.
The overall tone is assertive and dependable, with a classic, slightly industrial voice. It evokes vintage editorial and signage traditions—confident and straightforward—without feeling delicate or ornamental. The dense texture and blocky slabs give it a no-nonsense, emphatic presence suited to attention-grabbing typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional slab-serif framework: wide, emphatic letterforms, strong serifs, and a dense typographic color that holds up in bold display settings. The slightly softened joins and compact counters suggest an aim for warmth and practicality rather than sharp, high-contrast refinement.
In larger sizes the crisp slab structure and tight counters create a strong poster-like impact; in paragraphs the color remains quite dark, so generous leading and mindful tracking help maintain clarity. The heavier joins and tight apertures can make some shapes feel compact, which reinforces the bold, sturdy personality.
