A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions, firm verticals, and generously rounded bowls. The serifs are blocky and well anchored, with subtle bracketing and softened terminals that keep the texture from feeling harsh. Counters are open and fairly round, and the lowercase shows sturdy, slightly chunky joins with a readable, even rhythm in text. Numerals follow the same robust construction, maintaining strong presence and clear silhouettes at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short blocks of copy where a strong typographic voice is desirable. It works well for branding and packaging that needs a dependable, classic presence, and for editorial layouts that benefit from a sturdy slab-serif texture.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with an editorial, poster-ready authority. Its weight and slabs evoke a familiar collegiate and print-era sturdiness, while the rounded shapes add a friendly, approachable warmth.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, print-forward slab-serif voice with high impact and reliable readability. The mix of strong slabs and rounded internal shapes suggests an aim for both authority and approachability in display and editorial contexts.
In the sample paragraph the dark color produces strong emphasis and a dense typographic block, making line breaks and spacing feel decisive. The forms stay stable and legible under heavy ink coverage, with distinct letter shapes that help avoid ambiguity in all-caps and mixed-case settings.
