A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, mostly even strokes and broad, rectangular serifs. The serifs read as slightly bracketed and firmly attached, giving a compact, anchored silhouette. Counters are generous and round, while curves are smooth and full, creating a steady rhythm at display sizes. Lowercase forms are upright and conventional, with single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a straightforward, readable construction across the set. Numerals are wide and weighty with clear openings and flat terminals, matching the strong vertical emphasis of the capitals.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where strong typographic presence is needed. It also fits branding systems, packaging, and signage that benefit from a dependable, classic slab-serif voice. The sturdy construction and open counters help it remain readable in bold typographic layouts.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, with a classic print-and-poster sensibility. Its weight and blocky serifs convey authority and dependability, while the rounded curves keep it approachable rather than austere. The feel lands in an editorial/collegiate space—bold and traditional without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, authoritative slab-serif look with familiar, readable letterforms. It prioritizes impact and clarity, pairing heavy strokes and strong serifs with rounded, conventional shapes for broad usability in display and editorial contexts.
Spacing appears comfortable for a heavy serif, helping the dense strokes stay clear in text samples. The mix of crisp slab endings and softly rounded bowls gives it a practical, legible presence that holds up in headline settings.
