A heavy slab serif with robust, square-ended detailing and a largely even stroke weight. The letterforms feel compact and stable, with broad horizontal serifs, firm corners, and minimal stroke modulation, giving the shapes a strong, poster-ready silhouette. Counters are generous and mostly round in letters like O and e, while joins and terminals stay crisp and flat, creating a consistent, engineered rhythm across caps and lowercase. Numerals are similarly weighty and straightforward, designed to hold their shape at large sizes.
Well suited to headlines, display typography, and short bursts of text where its strong serifs and compact shapes can carry impact. It can work effectively in branding and packaging for products that benefit from a sturdy, traditional-meets-modern voice, and it reads clearly on signage when set with adequate spacing.
The overall tone is bold and self-assured, with a practical, no-nonsense presence that still reads approachable. Its chunky slabs and squared terminals evoke a retro print sensibility—part newsroom, part collegiate—without feeling overly decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence and legibility through sturdy slabs, flat terminals, and a consistent, workmanlike rhythm. It aims for a reliable display serif that feels classic in structure but simplified for bold, contemporary reproduction.
The face maintains a steady texture in text, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (notably the strong slab structure on E/F/T and the prominent serifs on lowercase). The design’s mass and squared finishing give it strong impact, though the dense weight naturally pulls attention in longer settings.
