A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, blocky strokes and minimal contrast. The serifs are rectangular and broadly bracketed, giving terminals a planted, stable feel, while many joins and corners appear subtly softened. Counters are compact but clear, and the overall proportions read as slightly condensed in the rounds, with a consistent, even rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The figures are robust and straightforward, matching the letterforms’ thick stems and square-ended details.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, section openers, and pull quotes where a strong typographic anchor is needed. Its solid color and clear slab structure also work well for posters, labels, and packaging, and it can hold up in short-to-medium passages when a firm, traditional tone is desired.
The tone is pragmatic and confident, with a utilitarian, workhorse presence. Its chunky slabs and steady color evoke traditional print and industrial signage sensibilities, leaning more functional than decorative while still feeling warm and familiar.
The design appears intended to deliver a reliable slab-serif voice with strong emphasis and high clarity, prioritizing consistent texture and sturdy detailing for impactful text in both display and supporting roles.
The lowercase shows a simple, readable structure with single-storey forms where expected (notably the “a”), and the overall texture in paragraph setting is dense and authoritative. The design maintains a consistent serif treatment across letters and numbers, reinforcing a cohesive, dependable voice.
