A heavy slab-serif with pronounced, squared terminals and a consistent, low-contrast stroke structure. Serifs read as firm, block-like slabs with slight bracketing, giving joins a carved, anchored feel rather than a sharp cut. Counters are relatively open for the weight, with round letters staying broadly circular and verticals remaining dominant; overall spacing feels slightly tight and compact in text. Uppercase forms are strong and stately, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike rhythm with sturdy stems and simplified details.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and brand marks that need strong impact and stable letterforms. It also fits packaging and editorial display where a classic slab-serif voice can carry authority and structure, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is assertive and dependable, with a traditional, institutional flavor. Its chunky slabs and compact color convey a rugged, no-nonsense personality that can feel both vintage and utilitarian depending on setting.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, dependable slab-serif texture with traditional cues—blocky serifs, sturdy proportions, and a compact rhythm—optimized for high-impact typography and clear, emphatic messaging.
Numerals match the same robust construction and read well at display sizes, with a notably solid, poster-like presence. In longer text, the dense weight and compact spacing create a dark typographic color that favors headlines and short blocks over delicate, airy settings.
