A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions, sturdy verticals, and a compact, authoritative rhythm. Serifs read as thick, rectangular slabs with subtle rounding and slight bracketing at joins, giving corners a softened, inked-in feel rather than razor-sharp geometry. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and curves (C, G, O, S) are full and smooth, with strong horizontal terminals and a generally even color across lines of text. Lowercase forms are straightforward and workmanlike, with a pronounced, single-storey a and a compact, sturdy e; spacing looks generous enough to keep the dense weight from clogging in text.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and editorial display where a strong typographic voice is needed. It also fits packaging and signage applications that benefit from a robust, high-impact serif with stable forms and clear terminals.
The tone is bold and assertive without feeling cold: it suggests classic print typography, signage, and no-nonsense editorial voice. Its chunky serifs and broad stance give it a dependable, slightly nostalgic character that reads as practical and confident rather than delicate or refined.
The font appears designed to deliver high-impact readability with a classic slab-serif structure—prioritizing solidity, strong silhouettes, and an even typographic color for attention-grabbing display use.
The design leans on strong horizontals and squared-off details, producing a poster-friendly silhouette and clear word shapes at larger sizes. Numerals match the heft and share the same sturdy, slabbed construction, supporting consistent emphasis in headings and callouts.
