A robust slab serif with heavy, square-ended serifs and a generally broad footprint. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with just enough modulation to keep counters open and joins from feeling mechanical. Serifs read as largely flat and block-like, often lightly bracketed into stems, giving the forms a carved, authoritative presence. Letterfit is generous and the shapes are roomy, with large counters and a steady, upright rhythm that holds up well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, posters, and branding where a bold serif presence is needed. It can also work for editorial titling and packaging systems that benefit from a sturdy, traditional voice and strong figure styling.
The tone is assertive and grounded, projecting a classic, institutional confidence. Its weight and blocky serifs create a dependable, no-nonsense feel that can also read as sporty or collegiate when set large. Overall it feels traditional rather than delicate, favoring impact and clarity.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a classic slab-serif structure: broad proportions, emphatic serifs, and open counters for legibility at large sizes. It prioritizes impact and stability over finesse, aiming for confident display typography that still reads clearly in short passages.
Capitals have a strong, poster-like silhouette, while the lowercase maintains a sturdy, readable texture with clear bowls and shoulders. Numerals match the same heavy, slabbed construction, giving data or headlines a cohesive, emphatic voice.
