A robust serif with slab-like, bracketed serifs and a dense, even color on the page. Strokes are heavy with moderate contrast and mostly vertical stress, producing strong verticals and rounded bowls. Terminals and serifs read square-ended but not rigid, with subtle rounding and softened joins that keep counters open while still feeling compact. The uppercase is broad and steady, while the lowercase shows sturdy, slightly condensed counters and rounded shoulders that maintain a consistent rhythm in text.
Well-suited to bold headlines, posters, and book-cover typography where a sturdy serif presence is desired. It can also work for editorial display and branding that benefits from a confident, traditional-meets-industrial voice, especially when set with generous leading to balance its dense color.
The overall tone is authoritative and workmanlike, with a vintage editorial flavor. Its weight and solid construction project reliability and seriousness, while the softened edges add approachability rather than harshness.
The design appears intended to deliver a tough, readable slab-serif voice with softened details for smoother texture in setting. It emphasizes impact and consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals, aiming for strong display performance with an editorial sensibility.
In the sample text, the face holds together well at larger sizes, creating a strong headline texture with clear word shapes. Numerals appear weighty and stable, matching the letterforms closely for cohesive titling and display settings.
