A heavy slab-serif design with square, bracketed serifs and a strong, even typographic color. Strokes show clear but controlled contrast, with thick vertical stems and slightly lighter connecting strokes, producing a crisp, print-like rhythm. The lowercase has a tall, sturdy build with compact apertures and pronounced, squared terminals; counters stay open enough to hold up well at display sizes. Rounds are firm rather than delicate, and overall spacing feels generous for such a weight, supporting clarity in dense settings.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and packaging where a strong slab-serif presence is needed, and it also performs well for editorial display such as magazine openers and pull quotes. The dense, confident texture makes it a good option for branding and book-cover titling, especially when you want a traditional, print-forward feel.
The font conveys a dependable, authoritative tone associated with traditional print and institutional typography. Its chunky serifs and solid stems feel grounded and confident, reading as serious and editorial rather than playful. The overall impression is bold and pragmatic, with a classic voice suited to statement typography.
Likely designed to deliver a bold slab-serif voice that combines classic print credibility with strong impact at larger sizes. The controlled contrast and bracketed slabs suggest an intention to remain readable and stable in set text while still projecting an assertive, editorial character.
Capital forms feel monument-like with broad proportions and stable horizontals, while the lowercase maintains a robust, workmanlike texture that stays consistent across words. Numerals are similarly weighty and straightforward, matching the letterforms closely for cohesive text-and-figure setting.
