A robust slab-serif with substantial, squared serifs and a compact, blocky rhythm. Strokes are heavy with noticeable—but not delicate—contrast, and terminals tend to finish bluntly, reinforcing a sturdy, print-forward character. The lowercase shows rounded bowls and clear, open counters, while capitals feel broad-shouldered and emphatic; overall spacing and silhouettes support bold headline setting and short bursts of text.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, posters, packaging, and branding that needs a bold, dependable serif. It also fits editorial pull quotes, magazine titling, and signage where a classic slab-serif impression helps communicate substance and authority.
This typeface projects a confident, no-nonsense tone with a classic, slightly vintage editorial feel. Its strong serifs and weighty presence read as authoritative and steady, while the rounded counters and friendly proportions keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact typography with a traditional slab-serif voice—prioritizing strong recognition, clear word shapes, and a stable baseline presence. Its forms suggest a focus on display and editorial settings where weight and structure carry the message.
The numerals are heavy and prominent, matching the uppercase in visual weight, and the overall set maintains a consistent, sturdy texture across mixed-case sample text.
