A robust slab serif with heavy, square-shouldered serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The forms are broad and steady, with a slightly condensed vertical rhythm created by substantial horizontals and firm joins. Bracketed transitions soften the slab connections, and several glyphs show small notch-like cuts or ink-trap-style relief at interior corners, helping counters stay open at display sizes. Rounds (O, C, Q) are full and smooth, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) are thick and stable with blunt terminals. Numerals are similarly weighty and straightforward, maintaining the same squared, grounded structure as the letters.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium blocks of text where a strong typographic color is desired. It works well for branding and packaging that need a solid, classic presence, and for signage or labels where sturdy letterforms and clear structure help maintain readability.
The overall tone is assertive and dependable, evoking classic editorial and collegiate signage without feeling delicate. Its heavy slabs and broad proportions give it a no-nonsense, slightly vintage voice that reads as authoritative and practical.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong slab-serif voice with dependable legibility, combining broad proportions with firm serifs to create a confident, display-friendly texture that still holds together in larger text settings.
In text, the strong serifs create a clear horizontal baseline and a pronounced rhythm, with ample counters in letters like a, e, and s supporting legibility. The lowercase has a sturdy, workmanlike texture, and the punctuation and shapes shown maintain the same blunt, architectural consistency.
