A robust slab serif with heavy, mostly uniform strokes and squared, firmly planted serifs. The letterforms favor broad, compact proportions with generous counters and clear internal shapes, keeping rhythm steady in both uppercase and lowercase. Terminals are predominantly flat and decisive, with subtle rounding at some joins that softens the otherwise block-like geometry. Figures are sturdy and straightforward, matching the text color and density of the alphabet.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and titling where a dense, authoritative voice is desired. It can also work well for branding and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, traditional impression, and for editorial layouts that need a strong typographic anchor.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, with a traditional print feel that reads as dependable and no-nonsense. Its strong presence suggests classic editorial and utilitarian contexts, evoking heritage signage and sturdy newspaper typography without feeling ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, stable slab-serif voice with high legibility and a strong printed texture. It prioritizes impact and reliability through blunt terminals, consistent stroke weight, and compact proportions that stay clear at display and text sizes.
In text, the face produces a dark, even typographic color and holds clarity through strong verticals and open apertures. The lowercase shows a conventional, readable structure with pronounced serifs that help maintain line continuity, while the uppercase feels emphatic and headline-ready.
