A heavy, rectilinear slab serif with broad proportions and firm, square-cut serifs. Strokes remain largely uniform, creating a solid, even color, while corners and terminals read crisp and mechanical rather than calligraphic. The forms feel spacious and open, with generous counters and a steady rhythm across words; curves are rounded but contained within a structured, almost geometric framework. Numerals and capitals carry strong weight and presence, and the overall texture stays consistent at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and signage where strong presence and clear word shapes are needed. It also fits editorial and packaging applications that benefit from a traditional slab-serif voice with a sturdy, high-impact texture.
The tone is confident and grounded, with a classic newspaper/letterpress seriousness and a blunt, workmanlike strength. Its square serifs and broad stance give it an authoritative, no-nonsense voice that can feel both collegiate and industrial depending on context.
Likely designed to provide a commanding slab-serif look with broad proportions and consistent stroke weight, prioritizing clarity and punch for display typography. The square-ended serifs and structured curves suggest an aim toward a dependable, classic voice that reproduces with authority in print and on screen.
The design emphasizes stability over delicacy: short, emphatic serifs, wide letterforms, and clear, legible shapes that maintain impact in large headings. The sample text shows a dense, attention-grabbing typographic color that suits bold statements and short blocks of copy rather than airy, minimalist layouts.
