A heavy slab serif with broad, block-like forms and rounded outer curves that keep the weight feeling even and cohesive. Serifs are square and prominent with gentle bracketing, giving terminals a planted, grounded finish rather than a sharp cut. Counters are relatively tight for the weight, and joins are sturdy, producing a dark, consistent color in text. The lowercase is straightforward and legible, with a single-storey “g” and robust stems throughout; figures are wide and bold with simple, high-impact shapes.
Best suited to headlines, short-form messaging, and display settings where boldness and clear silhouettes matter—posters, packaging, signage, and brand marks that need a sturdy presence. It can work for brief blocks of text when a dark, assertive typographic color is desired.
The overall tone is strong and dependable, with a slightly nostalgic, poster-oriented flavor. Its chunky serifs and compact internal space communicate confidence and practicality, while the rounded contours add a welcoming, approachable edge.
Designed to deliver a no-nonsense slab-serif voice with high impact and reliable readability. The intent appears to balance traditional slab cues with smooth curves and consistent weight for versatile, attention-grabbing typography.
At larger sizes it reads as emphatic and graphic, and in longer lines it creates a dense, authoritative texture. The family of shapes feels consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, emphasizing solidity over delicacy.
