A robust slab-serif with sturdy, squared-off terminals and pronounced, mostly bracketed serifs. Strokes are heavy and largely even, with only subtle modulation, creating a dense, confident texture in text. Counters are moderately open and the joins are clean and traditional, while the proportions lean broad, giving capitals a stable footprint and lowering the feeling of vertical tension. The lowercase shows a straightforward, workmanlike construction with a two-storey “g” and single-storey “a,” and numerals that read clearly at display sizes thanks to their solid forms and strong serifs.
This design fits well for headlines and subheads where a firm, classic presence is needed, and it can also support editorial layouts and book-cover typography that benefits from a strong slab-serif voice. It’s a solid option for posters and branding that call for traditional authority with high visual impact.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, evoking classic print typography and institutional publishing. Its weight and slab structure give it a dependable, no-nonsense voice that feels suited to serious or formal messaging while still remaining approachable in longer passages.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a classic slab-serif personality with high impact and dependable legibility, prioritizing strong structure, consistent texture, and a confident editorial feel across both display and text-like settings.
In the sample text, the font maintains a consistent rhythm and a strong baseline, producing a dark, even color across lines. The bold serifs and generous horizontal presence help emphasize headings and short statements, while the sturdy letterforms keep individual characters distinct in mixed-case settings.
