A sturdy slab serif with dense, rectangular serifs and a compact, weighty build. Strokes are broadly even with subtle modulation, and corners read slightly softened rather than razor-sharp, giving a pressed, print-like texture. Serifs are mostly blocky with gentle bracketing on some joins, producing a steady horizontal rhythm and strong baseline. Lowercase forms are robust and open, with a single-storey “g” and round i/j dots, while several letters show distinctive beaks and terminals that add character without becoming ornamental.
Best suited to headlines and short passages where its strong slabs and compact heft can carry impact—posters, packaging, and brand marks in particular. It can also serve as an editorial display face for book covers, section openers, and pull quotes where a traditional yet sturdy serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and grounded, combining a classic, bookish authority with a touch of rugged, poster-era charm. Its heavy slabs and compact proportions evoke a dependable, workmanlike voice that feels equally at home in editorial settings and heritage-inspired branding.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a classic slab-serif backbone, emphasizing strong silhouettes, dependable spacing rhythm, and distinctive terminals for recognizable branding and display typography.
The numerals are wide and highly legible with consistent weight and strong, squared-off finishing. The caps have a monumental presence, and the lowercase maintains clarity at larger display sizes, creating a cohesive texture across mixed-case text.
