A robust slab-serif with squared, unbracketed serifs and blunt terminals throughout. Strokes are heavy and even, with minimal modulation, producing dense, dark color and steady rhythm in text. Proportions are fairly traditional with a moderate x-height, broad counters, and clear joins; curves (notably in C, G, O, S) stay controlled and slightly squared-off in feeling rather than calligraphic. Numerals and capitals read solid and deliberate, with wide top serifs and firm horizontals that emphasize a grounded baseline.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a firm, authoritative voice is needed. It also works for editorial layouts, packaging, and straightforward branding that benefits from strong structure and high readability. In signage or labels, the blunt serifs and steady proportions help retain clarity at a distance.
The overall tone is strong and dependable, with a classic, workmanlike seriousness. It evokes editorial and institutional typography—confident, no-nonsense, and slightly nostalgic—without feeling decorative or playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a durable slab-serif voice with strong typographic color and dependable readability. Its squared serifs and restrained curves suggest an emphasis on clarity and impact across display and text-forward uses.
At larger sizes the chunky slabs and tight internal shaping create a commanding presence, while in paragraph settings the consistent stroke weight keeps forms clear and stable. The texture is relatively compact and dark, so generous line spacing helps maintain comfort in longer passages.
