A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions, compact counters, and a steady vertical stance. Strokes are thick and even enough to read as sturdy, with moderate contrast and clearly defined, rectangular slab serifs that often show subtle bracketing into the stems. The overall rhythm is strong and deliberate, with solid bowls and wide capitals; the lowercase maintains a conventional, readable structure with a distinct, two-storey “g” and straightforward terminals. Numerals are weighty and stable, matching the uppercase presence and maintaining a consistent, print-oriented texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display settings where a firm, traditional voice is needed. It can also support branding and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, heritage-inflected slab-serif look, and works well for editorial layouts seeking a strong typographic anchor.
The tone is confident and traditional, evoking newspaper headline typography and collegiate or institutional lettering. Its dense color and slab structure project reliability and impact, with a slightly vintage, workmanlike character that feels at home in classic print settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, dependable slab-serif voice with high visual impact and classic print sensibility. Its broad proportions and firm serifs prioritize presence and legibility, aiming for a recognizable, authoritative texture in display and prominent text roles.
At text sizes it creates a dark, continuous typographic color with pronounced word shapes and clear punctuation presence. The broad set width and heavy serifs make it especially commanding in short lines, while longer passages read as assertive and attention-forward.
