A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, squared terminals and a compact, high-ink silhouette. Strokes show noticeable but controlled contrast, with thick verticals and slightly lighter connecting strokes, creating a crisp rhythm in text. Serifs read as bold, rectangular slabs with subtle bracketing, and several joins show small notches or ink-trap-like cut-ins that help counters stay open. Round letters (C, O, Q) are broad and stable, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) keep a firm, engineered feel through blunt endings and strong symmetry.
This font suits headlines and subheads where a solid, authoritative texture is needed, and it holds up well in short passages for editorial layouts that want a classic slab-serif presence. Its robust shapes and strong slabs make it a good candidate for packaging, labels, and signage where impact and clarity matter.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, evoking print-era utilitarian typography with a slightly retro editorial edge. Its weight and slab structure lend a confident, no-nonsense voice that feels dependable and grounded rather than delicate or fashionable.
The design appears intended to deliver a durable slab-serif voice optimized for strong typographic color and clear reproduction at display sizes, while retaining enough internal detail and openness for comfortable reading in short text settings.
Capitals are especially commanding, with wide bowls and strong horizontal emphasis; the lowercase remains readable thanks to clear apertures and sturdy proportions. Figures are heavy and poster-ready, matching the uppercase color and maintaining consistent heft across the set.
