A robust slab serif with bracketed terminals, broad proportions, and a firmly upright stance. Strokes show noticeable contrast: heavy verticals paired with slightly lighter curves and horizontals, creating a strong, sculpted rhythm. Serifs are substantial and squared-off, with smooth bracketing that softens the joins and helps the forms read cleanly at size. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the uppercase has a solid, authoritative mass while the lowercase maintains clear, sturdy shapes with pronounced serifs and a compact, steady texture in paragraphs.
This face is well suited to headlines, deck type, and display settings where a sturdy serif can carry authority—magazine layouts, book jackets, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also work for short text blocks such as pull quotes, captions, or packaging copy when a dense, confident texture is desired.
The overall tone feels editorial and dependable, combining old-style seriousness with modern punch. Its heavy slabs and confident contrast suggest a traditional, print-forward voice suited to headlines that need weight and credibility. The texture leans classic and institutional rather than playful, projecting stability and clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional slab-serif voice with high impact—combining strong serifs and controlled contrast to remain legible while projecting gravitas. It aims to feel print-classic and authoritative, optimized for attention in titles and prominent typographic statements.
The numerals appear full-bodied and highly presence-forward, matching the uppercase’s weight and giving figures strong emphasis in layouts. Across the sample text, the spacing and stroke rhythm produce a dense, headline-friendly color without collapsing counters, supporting readable lines even at large sizes.
