A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, bracketed serifs and a compact, blocky silhouette. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with firm vertical stems and slightly tapered joins that keep counters open despite the weight. Terminals are mostly squared and decisive, while curves are rounded and slightly flattened at stress points, giving letters a carved, printed feel. Proportions are generally broad and stable, with classic serif construction in both cases and a consistent, rhythmic texture in text.
Best suited for display typography such as headlines, posters, packaging, and signage where a bold, traditional voice is needed. It can also work for short editorial callouts or mastheads, especially in contexts that benefit from a heritage or Americana-leaning slab-serif texture.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, evoking vintage print and old-style advertising. Its strong slabs and slightly softened curves add a friendly, workmanlike character, while the contrast and sharp finishing details keep it punchy and editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif authority with enough contrast and shaping to avoid monotony at larger sizes. It aims for a familiar, print-forward personality that feels both robust and readable in impactful settings.
Uppercase forms read particularly emphatic, with prominent slabs on E/F/T and a robust, squared-off presence across the alphabet. Numerals are equally weighty and straightforward, suited to display settings where clarity and impact matter.
