A robust slab serif with heavy, rectangular terminals and broadly rounded inner counters. Strokes are consistently thick with moderate contrast and a steady, upright stance; curves (C, O, S) are full and slightly squared off by the weight. Serifs read as blunt blocks rather than bracketed wedges, and joins are firm and angular, giving letters a carved, poster-like solidity. Lowercase forms are straightforward and legible, with a two-storey g and single-storey a, while the numerals are dense and strongly shaped for emphasis.
Best suited to headlines, posters, branding, and packaging where a solid slab-serif presence is needed. It also works for signage and editorial callouts thanks to its strong silhouettes and clear, uncomplicated letterforms, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, projecting a dependable, utilitarian voice with a hint of mid-century print and signage. Its weight and block serifs create an assertive, grounded feel that reads as authoritative rather than delicate or playful.
Designed to deliver a practical, high-impact slab-serif voice that feels familiar and dependable. The emphasis appears to be on sturdy shapes, clear spacing, and a consistent, printable texture that performs well in bold typographic statements.
The rhythm is chunky and even, with sturdy verticals and clear horizontal accents that hold together well in tightly set lines. Counters remain open despite the heavy weight, supporting readability in short-to-medium passages while keeping a strong display presence.
