A robust slab-serif with heavy, mostly unmodulated strokes and prominent rectangular serifs softened by subtle bracketing. The letterforms are broad and well supported, with squared shoulders and blunt terminals that keep the texture dense and steady. Counters are generally open and round (notably in O/C/G), while joins and arms stay thick and architectural, producing a consistent, print-like rhythm across upper- and lowercase. Numerals share the same sturdy construction, with strong horizontals and firm curves that match the overall weight and stance.
It performs best in display sizes where its slabs and broad shapes can establish a strong typographic voice—headlines, posters, section headers, and branded statements. The dense, steady color also suits packaging and signage that need a confident, traditional emphasis.
The font conveys a grounded, no-nonsense tone with a classic, workmanlike presence. Its bold slabs and solid proportions suggest reliability and tradition, with a slight collegiate or editorial flavor rather than a delicate or high-fashion mood.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a classic slab-serif authority—prioritizing solidity, consistent stroke strength, and clear structure for assertive display typography.
Spacing reads generous enough for headline settings, and the heavy serifs create clear baseline and cap-line anchoring. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable build, with single-storey forms where expected and a generally utilitarian, sturdy silhouette.
