A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions, solid color, and restrained contrast. The serifs are prominent and largely rectangular with subtle bracketing, giving joins a reinforced, built-up feel. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while terminals and serifs create a squared rhythm that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. The overall texture is dense and assertive, favoring stability and impact over delicacy.
Best suited to display sizes where its slabs and dense color can do the heavy lifting—headlines, posters, retail or wayfinding signage, and bold brand lockups. It can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes where a sturdy, traditional emphasis is needed.
The face conveys a grounded, no-nonsense tone with a distinctly classic, print-forward character. Its chunky slabs and wide stance read as confident and a bit nostalgic, evoking traditional headlines, posters, and utilitarian signage.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a reliable, classic slab-serif voice—prioritizing firmness, readability at display sizes, and a familiar print-era authority.
Round letters (like O/C) stay fairly geometric and full, while diagonals (V/W/X) remain strong and uncompromised at the joins. The numerals match the capitals in heft and presence, making mixed headline settings feel cohesive and emphatic.
