A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, squared serifs and mostly bracketed joins that soften the slab edges. Strokes are thick with visible, moderate contrast, and counters stay relatively open for the weight. Proportions read broad and confident, with a stable baseline and a fairly even, deliberate rhythm across capitals and lowercase. Terminals are blunt and horizontal, and the overall texture in text is dark, cohesive, and strongly structured.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of display text where its strong slabs and dark texture can carry emphasis. It works well for editorial titles, posters, labels, and branding that needs a robust, traditional presence, and it can also serve for punchy pull quotes at larger sizes.
The face conveys a confident, no-nonsense tone with a traditional, print-minded character. Its heavy slabs and solid rhythm suggest authority and familiarity, evoking editorial and collegiate cues while still feeling practical and workmanlike.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a classic slab-serif voice, pairing heavy serifs and controlled contrast to create a firm, authoritative typographic color in display settings.
In the sample text, the dense color and prominent serifs create strong horizontal emphasis and clear word shapes at large sizes. The numerals are similarly weighty and straightforward, matching the headline-forward personality.
