This typeface features heavy, bracketed slab serifs and mostly monolinear strokes with very little modulation. The letterforms are broad and steady, with open counters and a consistent, even rhythm across the alphabet. Terminals are square and firm, and joins are smoothly bracketed rather than sharp, giving the design a solid, workmanlike texture. Numerals are similarly weighty and straightforward, matching the overall density and stability of the text face.
Well-suited to headlines and subheads where a sturdy, impactful voice is needed, and it also performs well in editorial settings for short blocks of text. The strong slab serifs and steady rhythm make it a good choice for branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a traditional, dependable tone.
The overall tone is confident and grounded, with a no-nonsense presence that reads as dependable and established. Its strong slabs and dark color lend it an editorial and institutional feel, balancing practicality with a touch of traditional gravitas.
The design appears intended as a practical slab serif with extra heft and clarity, aiming for high presence without relying on decoration. Its consistent construction and restrained detailing suggest a focus on straightforward readability and a solid, authoritative typographic voice.
In the text sample, the face maintains a strong horizontal emphasis and a pronounced “ink” footprint, producing a dense, even paragraph color. The round letters remain well-opened, preventing the heavy weight from feeling clogged, while the serifs add a clear baseline and line-to-line structure.
