A heavy, wide slab serif with squared, bracketed serifs and a predominantly low-contrast stroke structure. The letterforms are built from broad stems and generous horizontals, producing a steady, weighty texture in text. Counters are relatively open and the x-height reads tall, while terminals and serifs remain blunt and rectangular, giving edges a crisp, engineered feel. Spacing appears moderate for a display-oriented slab, with strong presence even at smaller sizes due to the broad proportions and simplified detailing.
This face is well suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of text where a strong slab-serif voice is desired. It can perform effectively in posters, branding, and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, print-classic tone, and it also fits signage or labels where clear, forceful shapes are needed.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a classic, print-forward character that feels sturdy and dependable. Its bold slabs and broad stance convey a confident, no-nonsense voice associated with editorial headlines, signage, and traditional institutions rather than delicate or playful settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through broad proportions, heavy slabs, and a stable baseline, combining traditional slab-serif cues with a simplified, modernized construction for strong readability at display sizes.
The font maintains a consistent, rhythmic silhouette across capitals and lowercase, with particularly strong horizontal emphasis that reinforces its wide footprint. The numerals share the same blocky construction and blunt finishing, supporting a cohesive typographic color in mixed text and display lines.
