A heavy slab-serif with monoline construction and compact proportions. The strokes are uniformly thick, with broad, squared terminals and strongly bracketed slabs that read like softened blocks rather than sharp cuts. Counters are relatively small and roundish, and joins tend to be slightly eased, giving the letters a stamped, inky presence. Uppercase forms are wide and stable, while lowercase shows single-storey shapes (notably a and g) and a straightforward, workmanlike rhythm; the numerals are similarly weighty and open enough for display use.
Best suited to display contexts where weight and personality are an asset—headlines, posters, badges, and signage. It can work for short paragraphs or pull quotes when a dense, assertive texture is desired, especially in branding or packaging that leans vintage or industrial.
The overall tone feels sturdy and utilitarian, with a warm, vintage flavor. Its chunky slabs and softened corners evoke signage, posters, and print ephemera, balancing toughness with approachability.
The design appears aimed at delivering a robust slab-serif voice with strong legibility at larger sizes, emphasizing confident silhouettes and a consistent, ink-heavy texture that recalls traditional printed and sign-painted lettering.
Serifs are prominent and consistent across the set, creating strong horizontal emphasis and a steady baseline. The texture in paragraph settings is dark and punchy, favoring impact over delicacy, with clear letter differentiation driven by bold silhouettes and simple internal structure.
