A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, squared-off serifs and a largely monolinear stroke feel. The letterforms are built on compact proportions with broad shoulders and firm vertical stems, creating a dense, even color in text. Serifs are substantial and mostly flat-ended with slight bracketing, while joins and apertures stay tight, emphasizing a strong, poster-ready silhouette. Round characters remain full and stable rather than calligraphic, and the overall rhythm reads measured and consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and signage where its strong slabs and compact proportions can project impact. It also works well for editorial display typography and packaging that benefits from a traditional, dependable voice and clear figure/letter consistency.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, with a vintage editorial and industrial flavor. Its weight and squared detailing give it a no-nonsense, authoritative presence that feels at home in classic print contexts and bold typographic statements.
The design appears intended to deliver strong legibility and a bold, classic slab-serif presence, balancing a traditional print sensibility with a clean, squared structure for modern display use.
The design favors solid interior spaces and short, decisive terminals, helping small details hold together at display sizes. Numerals share the same sturdy construction and wide stance, matching the letters for cohesive headlines and numerically driven layouts.
