A sturdy serif with pronounced, squared slab terminals and clear bracketing that softens joins into the stems. The design shows noticeable stroke modulation—thick verticals paired with thinner joins and diagonals—while maintaining a dense, confident color on the page. Letterforms are slightly slanted, with broad proportions and generous counters that help keep the bold weight readable. The lowercase is compact and workmanlike, and the figures are heavy and high-contrast enough to stand up in headlines and short runs of text.
Best suited to display and editorial applications where a bold serif texture is desirable: headlines, pull quotes, posters, packaging, and book or magazine covers. It can also work for short blocks of text at comfortable sizes where a strong, traditional presence is wanted.
The overall tone is authoritative and editorial, with a hint of vintage printing and industrial signage. It feels confident and pragmatic rather than delicate, projecting clarity, strength, and a traditional voice suitable for emphatic messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver an emphatic, readable serif voice with the robustness of slabs and a forward-leaning stance. It balances classic editorial cues with a utilitarian build, aiming for strong impact without sacrificing legibility in longer lines.
The slabs are consistently firm and rectangular across caps and lowercase, giving a strong horizontal rhythm. Round letters stay fairly open despite the weight, and the italic slant reads as a purposeful forward lean rather than a cursive construction, keeping the texture steady in paragraphs.
