A sturdy slab-serif with thick, square-cut serifs and strongly rectilinear terminals. Strokes are consistently robust, with compact apertures and counters that give the forms a dense, ink-friendly color on the page. Curves are restrained and often resolve into flat endings, while verticals feel dominant and proportions lean slightly condensed in many capitals. Numerals and lowercase follow the same blocky rhythm, with clear, squared-off details that emphasize structure and stability.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where its slab structure can project weight and authority, and it can also work for short editorial passages that benefit from strong typographic presence. It’s a good match for posters, book covers, and signage applications that call for a sturdy, traditional voice with high visibility.
The overall tone is practical and no-nonsense, evoking traditional print and industrial signage rather than delicate refinement. Its heavy, confident construction reads as dependable and authoritative, with a slightly rugged, utilitarian edge.
This design appears intended to deliver a stable, print-oriented slab-serif voice with clear structure and strong impact. The squared serifs and compact interior spaces prioritize solidity and legibility, aiming for a dependable workhorse style that holds up in assertive settings.
The face maintains a steady rhythm across text, with strong word shapes and prominent serifs that remain visible at smaller sizes. The compact openings and firm terminals create a dark, emphatic texture that suits bold typographic hierarchy and clear emphasis.
