A heavy slab-serif design with square, unbracketed serifs and blunt terminals that emphasize strong horizontal and vertical structures. Strokes read largely even in weight, with crisp joins and compact internal counters that create a dense, authoritative texture in paragraphs. The letterforms are built on straightforward geometry with firm shoulders and squared-off details, producing a steady rhythm and clear word shapes at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where a strong typographic voice is desired. It performs well in editorial layouts, packaging, and signage that call for legibility with weighty impact and a traditional-yet-blunt slab-serif character.
The tone is solid and no-nonsense, combining a traditional slab-serif backbone with a decidedly blunt, workmanlike finish. It feels confident and institutional, with an editorial seriousness that can also lean industrial depending on layout and scale.
Likely intended to deliver a bold, dependable slab-serif voice with clean, square finishing for maximum impact and clarity. The design prioritizes firmness and consistency, creating a compact, high-presence texture that reads as authoritative in display typography.
The bold slabs and tight counters give the face strong presence, especially in uppercase and headline settings, while the lowercase maintains a compact, grounded look. Numerals appear sturdy and wide enough to hold up in prominent, high-contrast applications.
