A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, mostly monoline strokes and broad, bracketed serifs. Curves are full and slightly squarish in places, giving bowls and counters a compact, workmanlike feel. The join shapes and inside corners show softened, sometimes notched transitions that read like subtle ink-trap handling, helping forms stay open at weight. Uppercase proportions are solid and even, while lowercase maintains clear differentiation with a moderate x-height and confident vertical stress. Figures are robust and straightforward, matching the letters’ wide-footed stance.
It performs well in headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium passages where a strong serif presence is desired. The sturdy slabs and open interior shapes make it a good fit for editorial layouts, packaging, and signage that needs an authoritative, traditional-but-plain typographic voice.
The font conveys a dependable, no-nonsense tone with a hint of vintage printing and industrial signage. Its weight and slab terminals feel grounded and practical, producing an assertive voice that still reads approachable due to the rounded shaping and softened corners.
The design appears intended as a practical slab-serif workhorse: strong, legible, and consistent, with subtle corner handling to preserve readability at heavier weights. It aims to deliver a classic, print-informed texture suitable for impactful display and dependable text use.
Overall spacing and rhythm feel stable and headline-ready, with consistent serif treatment across caps and lowercase. The design favors clarity and durability over delicacy, making it visually steady in blocks of text while remaining distinctive in larger sizes.
