A heavy, high-contrast slab serif with broad, square-ended serifs and subtly bracketed joins. The forms are built from stout verticals and tapered curves, creating a chiseled rhythm where counters stay relatively open despite the weight. Terminals are crisp and flat, with occasional angled cuts and tight interior corners that give an ink-trap-like sturdiness in small apertures. Proportions feel steady and classical, with robust capitals, compact lowercase bowls, and lining numerals that read strongly in blocks.
Best suited for short-to-medium text at display sizes—headlines, posters, labels, and branding where a firm, traditional voice is desired. It can also work for section headers and pull quotes in editorial layouts, especially where a dense, high-impact typographic color is useful.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, mixing old-style print authority with a slightly rugged, workmanlike edge. It evokes headline typography from posters, newspapers, and signage where impact and solidity matter most.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a classic slab-serif structure—combining square, sturdy serifs with sculpted curves to stay readable while feeling authoritative and distinctive.
The bold massing produces strong word shapes and clear vertical emphasis, while the squared serifs and tight joins create a distinctly structured texture on the line. Curved letters retain a sculpted feel, and diagonals (notably in V/W/X/Y) appear weighty and stable rather than sharp or delicate.
