A heavy slab-serif design with broad, rectangular serifs and softly bracketed joins that smooth transitions into the stems. Strokes are thick and generally even, with rounded internal curves and moderately tight counters that keep the silhouette dense. Uppercase forms are wide and stable, while the lowercase shows robust, compact construction with short extenders and strong vertical emphasis. Terminals are blunt and squared, and the overall rhythm is steady and poster-like, with slightly condensed apertures on letters like a, e, and s contributing to a solid texture in paragraphs.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where a strong, authoritative presence is desired, such as posters, signage, packaging, and bold editorial layouts. It can also work for branding that wants a sturdy, heritage-leaning slab-serif voice, especially when set with generous leading and careful tracking.
The font conveys a bold, no-nonsense tone—sturdy, workmanlike, and traditional. Its slab structure and dense color feel grounded and dependable, with an old-style, editorial weight that reads as confident rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif skeleton: thick strokes, solid serifs, and a compact internal structure that holds up in large sizes and creates a commanding typographic texture.
The numerals are heavy and highly legible at display sizes, matching the uppercase weight and serif treatment for a unified set. In running text the dark typographic color and compact counters can feel forceful, making spacing and size choices important for comfort.
