A heavy slab serif with broad proportions, strong vertical stress, and compact, rectangular counters. Serifs are bold and block-like with slight bracketing, creating a firm baseline and a sturdy, poster-ready texture. Curves are full and smooth, terminals are mostly blunt, and the overall rhythm is dense with relatively tight apertures in letters like C, S, and e. Numerals match the weight and presence of the letters, with rounded forms and clear slab feet that keep the set visually consistent.
Well suited to headlines, poster typography, and branding where a strong, grounded presence is needed. It can work for short editorial callouts and packaging copy when ample size and spacing are available to avoid an overly dense texture.
The font projects a solid, no-nonsense tone with a classic print feel. Its weight and slab detailing suggest reliability and authority, giving text a bold editorial voice that can also read as industrial and utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a robust, familiar slab serif that delivers maximum impact and legibility through simple, confident forms. It aims for a dependable workhorse voice with enough typographic heft to anchor display settings.
In running text the color is very dark and continuous, with emphatic word shapes and strong horizontal accents from the serifs. The design favors impact and stability over delicacy, making it especially assertive at headline sizes while remaining structurally straightforward.
