A contrasted slab serif with sturdy, rectangular serifs and clear bracketed joins. Strokes show noticeable thick–thin behavior, with heavy horizontals and slab terminals that give letters a firm, anchored footprint. Curves are generously rounded but controlled, while joins and corners stay crisp, creating a punchy rhythm in text. Lowercase forms keep a straightforward, workmanlike structure, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and compact, squared terminals that read cleanly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium blocks of text where strong structure and contrast add character without sacrificing legibility. It also fits branding and packaging that want a sturdy, heritage-leaning voice, and editorial layouts that benefit from a firm, typographic backbone.
The tone is bold and utilitarian, balancing classic editorial seriousness with a slightly vintage, sign-painter sturdiness. It feels confident and practical rather than delicate, with a no-nonsense presence that can lean industrial or collegiate depending on setting and spacing.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable slab-serif voice with pronounced terminals and visible contrast, creating strong emphasis and a confident reading texture. It aims to feel classic and functional while adding enough distinctive shape to carry display roles.
The figures are robust and high-impact, with clear silhouettes and emphatic serifs that help them stand out in mixed alphanumeric settings. The overall texture in paragraphs is dense and rhythmic, producing strong word shapes and a distinctly slab-driven cadence.
