A sturdy slab-serif with thick, blunt serifs and largely monolinear strokes. The letterforms are generously proportioned with open counters and a steady, horizontal rhythm, while terminals stay square and emphatic. Serifs read slightly bracketed rather than razor-sharp, helping joins feel solid and printed. Overall spacing appears comfortable and the figures are clear and robust, supporting dense settings without looking fragile.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where a firm, readable slab presence is desired. It can also serve branding, packaging, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, traditional-meets-industrial feel, and it remains legible in short paragraphs when set with adequate leading.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a classic print flavor that feels editorial and dependable. Its heavy slabs and straightforward construction give it a grounded, no-nonsense voice, while the ample proportions keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold slab-serif voice with reliable readability and strong silhouette definition. Its emphasis on blunt serifs, even stroke weight, and roomy shapes suggests a focus on durable, print-forward typography that stays clear and authoritative across common display and editorial contexts.
In text, the strong serifs and even stroke color create a consistent texture that holds up well at larger sizes and in short-to-medium passages. The forms lean toward practicality over refinement, favoring clarity and impact in headings and display lines.
