A heavy slab-serif with prominent, squared serifs softened by subtle bracketing and rounded joins. The strokes are thick with clear vertical emphasis and noticeable contrast in places, giving counters a scooped, carved feel rather than a purely geometric one. Proportions are generous and slightly condensed in some letters, with a tight, forceful rhythm that keeps words dense and impactful. Terminals are firm and blunt, and the lowercase shows traditional, readable forms with ample counters and strong shoulders.
This font is well suited to bold headlines, short editorial decks, and display copy where a strong typographic voice is needed. It can work effectively on posters, signage, and packaging where high visibility and a solid, traditional slab-serif impression are desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and dependable, with a faint old-style print and poster sensibility. Its mass and crisp serif structure communicate authority and solidity, while the slightly softened shaping keeps it from feeling purely mechanical.
The design appears intended as a pragmatic, hard-working slab serif for attention-grabbing display use, combining sturdy construction with just enough shaping to feel familiar and readable. Its emphasis is on impact and clarity rather than delicacy or minimalism.
In the sample text, the color on the page is very dark and even, making it best suited to sizes where its counters can breathe. The numerals are bold and sturdy, matching the letterforms’ blocky presence and maintaining consistent weight and spacing.
