A sturdy slab-serif with pronounced, blocky terminals and a slightly condensed, poster-like rhythm. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with strong verticals and heavier slab feet that give letters a grounded stance. The serifs often include small notches and angular cut-ins that add a subtly mechanical, ink-trap-like flavor, while bowls stay generously rounded for clarity. Overall spacing reads open and even, with a consistent baseline and robust proportions suited to bold setting.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium display text where the chunky slabs and contrast can carry personality. It will also work well for signage, packaging, and logo wordmarks that want a bold, vintage-leaning presence without becoming overly decorative.
The tone feels classic and workmanlike, blending old-time display energy with a practical, engineered solidity. Its notched slabs and strong silhouette evoke vintage signage and editorial headlines with a firm, no-nonsense voice.
Likely designed to deliver a strong slab-serif voice for display typography, combining readability with distinctive, notched serif details that help it stand out in branding and editorial contexts.
Round letters (like O/Q) appear especially full and smooth against the squared-off slabs, creating a clear interplay of curves and hard terminals. Numerals match the weight and stance of the caps, keeping the set cohesive for mixed alphanumeric use.
