A robust slab-serif with heavy, square-cut serifs and strong vertical stress. Strokes are consistently thick with crisp joins and flat terminals, creating a compact, blocky silhouette and even rhythm across lines. Counters are moderately open for a bold face, and the overall drawing favors geometric firmness over calligraphic modulation, with sturdy numerals that match the weight and stance of the letters.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding moments that need a strong, grounded impression. It also works well for editorial titling, labels, and packaging where a bold serif can provide structure and emphasis, and for signage or wayfinding when set with generous spacing.
The font conveys solidity and authority, with a practical, workmanlike tone that feels industrial and assertive. Its squared slabs and dense color also suggest classic print and institutional settings, giving it a dependable, no-nonsense voice.
Designed to deliver maximum impact through weight and squared slab details while keeping letterforms straightforward and highly legible. The overall intention appears to be a dependable, traditional slab voice that holds up in bold statements and structured typographic layouts.
The heavy serifs and tight interior spaces make the face most comfortable at display and short-text sizes, where the strong shapes read clearly and the bold texture becomes an asset. The lowercase maintains a traditional serif structure, pairing well with the more monumental presence of the capitals for hierarchy in headlines and subheads.
