A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad proportions and rounded outer curves. Strokes are thick and generally uniform, with soft transitions into short, squared serifs that read as slabby caps on terminals. Counters are relatively tight and often rounded-rectangular, giving the face a dense, poster-ready color. The lowercase is sturdy and simple with a single-story “a,” a compact “e,” and a ball-like dot on “i/j,” while figures follow the same chunky, squared-off rhythm.
Best suited to display settings where strong impact is needed: headlines, posters, logos, packaging, and signage. It can also work for short blurbs or callouts when set with ample leading and tracking to counter its dense typographic color.
The overall tone is bold and dependable, with a warm, old-school presence. Its rounded corners and compact counters keep it approachable despite the weight, evoking vintage signage and headline typography while still feeling practical and straightforward.
The letterforms appear intended to deliver maximum presence with a sturdy slab-serif structure, balancing industrial weight with softened curves for a friendlier, more approachable feel. It reads as a workmanlike display slab meant to stay legible and consistent while projecting confidence.
The design maintains a consistent, dark texture across lines, and the slab terminals help preserve clarity at large sizes. At smaller sizes the dense counters and strong weight can close in visually, so it benefits from generous spacing and display-scale use.
