A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, squared terminals and clear bracketed joins that keep the shapes compact and stable. Strokes are largely uniform with minimal modulation, producing an even, high-ink texture in text. Proportions are straightforward and workmanlike, with open counters and simple curves; the uppercase feels broad-shouldered while the lowercase stays compact and rhythmic. Numerals match the overall density and keep strong, rectangular footing, supporting clear, forceful emphasis in display sizes.
Works well for headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where a strong, stable voice is needed. It is also suited to packaging, labels, and identity work that benefits from a classic, print-forward slab-serif presence.
The overall tone is confident and dependable, with a classic, no-nonsense flavor that recalls traditional printing and sign lettering. Its weight and square serifs give it a grounded, authoritative presence, suitable when you want emphasis without resorting to decorative styling.
Likely designed as a practical slab-serif for general-purpose display and editorial use, prioritizing firmness, legibility, and consistent rhythm over stylistic novelty.
The slab serifs read as consistent across the alphabet, creating a steady horizontal rhythm and strong baseline anchoring. Curved letters maintain a firm, slightly squared-off feel, and the punctuation and dots appear substantial enough to hold up in dense settings.
