A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, blocky stems and prominent rectangular serifs that read cleanly at display sizes. The design shows gentle bracketing into the slabs and a slightly softened, oldstyle influence in the curves, keeping the texture from feeling purely geometric. Counters are fairly open for the weight, with rounded bowls and clear apertures, while terminals stay decisively square. The lowercase has a compact, workmanlike rhythm with a single-storey “g” and a round i-dot, and the numerals are bold and stable with broad proportions.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and punchy editorial typography where strong slabs and a dense text color are desirable. It can also support branding, packaging, and signage that needs a confident, traditional slab-serif voice and clear letterforms.
The overall tone is assertive and dependable, with a traditional, print-forward presence. Its heavy slabs and calm proportions suggest an editorial or institutional voice—confident, sturdy, and a bit rugged rather than delicate or refined.
The font appears designed to deliver a bold slab-serif impact while retaining approachable, oldstyle-leaning curves and comfortable readability. Its consistent, chunky serifs and robust construction emphasize authority and clarity in display and prominent text settings.
In the sample text, the thick serifs and strong verticals create a dark, even color across lines, suited to short to medium passages at larger sizes. Curved letters (like C, G, O, S) maintain a softened tension against the square terminals, giving the face a friendly toughness rather than a harsh, industrial edge.
