A heavy, slab-serif design with broad proportions and a compact, blocky construction. The serifs are thick and mostly bracketed, giving a carved, printed feel rather than a sharp, mechanical one. Strokes show clear (but not extreme) contrast, with rounded joins and slightly softened corners that help the dense shapes stay readable. Counters are moderate-to-tight, terminals are blunt, and the overall rhythm is steady and weighty across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and branding where a firm, traditional presence is desired. It also works well for editorial display and packaging that benefits from bold emphasis and a classic slab-serif texture.
The font conveys a sturdy, self-assured tone—classic and a bit institutional—like traditional print, sports lettering, and authoritative headlines. Its strong slabs and compact internal space create a grounded, no-nonsense voice that reads as dependable and emphatic rather than delicate or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a traditional slab-serif character, balancing strong serifs and moderate contrast to create a durable, print-forward look for display settings.
The sample text shows the weight holding together well in large blocks, with strong word shapes and clear differentiation in capitals. Numerals match the same stocky, slabbed treatment, keeping an even typographic color in mixed text.
