A sturdy slab serif with prominent, block-like serifs and clear bracketed joins that soften the corners without losing weight. Strokes show noticeable contrast, especially in round letters and diagonals, while terminals stay square and decisive. Proportions are compact with relatively wide capitals and sturdy bowls; counters remain open enough for clarity at display sizes. Overall spacing reads even and controlled, producing a dense, headline-ready texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and identity work where strong serif presence is desired. It also fits editorial display settings such as magazine section titles, pull quotes, and impactful numerals on packaging or signage, where its dense color and crisp slabs can carry at larger sizes.
The tone is confident and authoritative, with a classic, print-forward feel that suggests tradition and permanence. Its heavy slabs and compact rhythm give it a punchy, no-nonsense voice reminiscent of collegiate, industrial, and newspaper headline styles.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact while retaining traditional serif cues, combining robust slab serifs with controlled contrast to keep letterforms crisp and readable in display typography.
The figures are heavy and straightforward, matching the text weight well for impactful numerals. The italic is not shown; all samples read as upright roman forms with consistent serif treatment across cases.
