A sturdy slab serif with pronounced, mostly bracketed serifs and compact joints that create a dense, ink-friendly texture. Strokes show clear but not extreme contrast, with weight accumulating in verticals and firm, squared terminals that keep counters open at display sizes. The letterforms lean toward broad proportions with a steady rhythm; curves are full and slightly flattened at joins, giving rounded characters a solid, carved look. Lowercase features a single-storey “a” and “g,” generous bowls, and a short, strong-shouldered “r,” while figures are heavy and blocklike with emphatic horizontals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and cover typography where strong serifs can carry visual impact. It also fits editorial or publication design for short blocks of text, pull quotes, and section openers that need a robust, traditional voice.
The overall tone is assertive and classic, suggesting newspaper headlines, book typography, and institutional graphics. Its bold slabs and confident shapes read as dependable and slightly retro, with enough warmth in the curves to avoid feeling rigid or mechanical.
The font appears designed to deliver high-impact reading with classic slab-serif cues—strong serifs, stable proportions, and a compact, print-oriented texture—aimed at editorial and display work where authority and clarity are priorities.
The design balances strong horizontals and slabs with rounded interiors, producing a punchy color that stays legible in large text settings. Details like the firm crossbars and substantial numerals contribute to a headline-forward personality.
