A heavy, wide slab serif with compact counters and strongly bracketed, rectangular serifs. Strokes are thick and steady with noticeable but not delicate contrast, and the joins are rounded, giving the letters a softened, cast or wood-type feel. Terminals are blunt and squared, with occasional notch-like cut-ins around joins and inside corners that add texture and help open up tight spaces at this weight. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with a single-storey a and g, and the overall rhythm is dense and emphatic in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and impactful branding where weight and width are an advantage. It can work well for packaging, labels, and signage that benefits from a sturdy, high-contrast silhouette and a vintage display sensibility.
The font projects a bold, dependable voice with a distinctly vintage, poster-forward character. Its hefty slabs and wide stance suggest traditional signage and display printing, while the rounded joins keep the tone friendly rather than severe.
The design appears intended as a statement slab serif that nods to traditional display printing—built for immediacy, durability, and high visual presence. Its widened proportions and softened bracketing aim to balance authority with approachability in bold applications.
At larger sizes the design’s notches and heavy bracketing become a defining detail, lending a tactile, slightly engineered look. In continuous text it reads as intentionally loud and graphic, with tight internal spaces that favor short runs over lengthy paragraphs.
