A robust slab serif with heavy, bracketed serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The letterforms are compact with broad, squared terminals and rounded interior corners that keep the texture dense but controlled. Counters are moderately open, bowls are full, and joins are firm, giving the design a steady rhythm in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals share the same solid, workmanlike construction, with clear shapes and strong baseline presence.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where a strong serif presence is desired, and it also performs credibly in short-to-medium editorial passages that benefit from a dense, sturdy texture. Its compact, high-impact shapes make it a good option for posters, straightforward branding, and signage where firmness and legibility matter.
The overall tone is dependable and traditional, with an assertive, no-nonsense voice. Its weight and squared detailing evoke institutional and editorial typography, communicating stability and authority more than delicacy or flair.
The design appears intended as a practical slab serif for everyday display and editorial work, prioritizing strong structure, consistent color, and reliable readability over decorative eccentricities.
In running text the type builds a dark, even color, helped by consistent stem weights and decisive serifs. The design favors clarity and impact, staying visually coherent across mixed-case settings and alongside figures and punctuation.
