A very heavy slab-serif with pronounced, block-like serifs and a crisp high-contrast feel. Strokes are sturdy and generally vertical, with bracketing where stems meet serifs and occasional sharp interior notches that add snap to the forms. The uppercase reads wide and steady with large bowls and strong horizontals, while the lowercase is compact with a solid, weighty rhythm and a traditional two-storey “a.” Numerals are bold and structured, with clear geometry and emphatic terminals that hold up well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, posters, and brand moments where a bold, authoritative serif is needed. It also fits packaging and signage that benefits from a sturdy, traditional voice and high-impact letterforms, and can work for short editorial passages when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is assertive and classic, combining old-style credibility with a punchy, poster-ready presence. It feels like a headline face meant to project certainty and impact rather than softness or delicacy.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a classic slab-serif structure: strong serifs, firm verticals, and tightly controlled counters that create a compact, confident typographic color. It prioritizes presence and stability in display settings while keeping familiar serif conventions for readability in short runs of text.
Counters are relatively tight for the weight, helping letters stay cohesive and dark on the page. The heavy serifs and strong vertical stress create a clear baseline and cap-line, giving text a stable, anchored texture; at smaller sizes it will read dense, while at larger sizes the angular details and notches become a defining character.
