A heavy, slab-serif design with squared, weighty serifs and mostly flat terminals that give the letters a blocky silhouette. Strokes are robust and fairly even, with gentle bracketing where stems meet serifs and occasional pinched joins that create an ink-trap-like impression at small apertures. Counters are compact and the lowercase shows pronounced, high shoulders and sturdy bowls, producing a dense, emphatic texture. Capitals are wide-set and steady, while the numerals are strong and legible with simple, authoritative forms.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and branding where a strong, sturdy voice is needed. It can also work for short editorial bursts, pull quotes, and packaging or labels that benefit from dense, high-contrast word shapes and clear numerals.
The overall tone is bold and workmanlike, balancing a traditional printed feel with an industrial, no-nonsense presence. It reads as confident and dependable, leaning toward classic editorial gravitas rather than delicate refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence and clarity through heavy slabs, compact counters, and stable proportions, evoking classic print typography while maintaining a pragmatic, contemporary solidity for display use.
In the text sample the rhythm is tight and dark, with clear word shapes and strong vertical emphasis. The design’s squarer slabs and compact counters increase impact in headlines, while the slightly softened joins help keep the forms from feeling overly rigid.
