A heavy, compact slab serif with blunt, rectangular serifs and softly rounded corners throughout. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and generously filled counters that keep shapes robust at small sizes. The lowercase shows a straightforward, mostly two-storey construction where expected, with short ascenders/descenders and a steady rhythm; terminals tend to end in squared-off slabs rather than tapered joins. Overall spacing reads slightly tight in text, emphasizing a dense, poster-ready texture and strong silhouette.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and display typography where a strong, stable voice is needed. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a bold slab serif with a friendly edge, and can work for short brand statements or callouts when ample spacing is provided.
The tone is solid and approachable, combining a utilitarian sturdiness with a gently nostalgic, mid-century “printed” feel. Its weight and blocky slabs give it authority, while the rounded edges keep it from feeling harsh or overly formal.
Likely designed as a no-nonsense slab serif that prioritizes impact and legibility, with softened corners to keep the forms approachable. The consistent stroke weight and blunt serifs suggest a practical, print-oriented aesthetic aimed at bold editorial and promotional applications.
Numbers are wide and bold with simple, legible forms, matching the same squared slab treatment and rounded exterior corners. In longer setting, the texture stays dark and consistent, making it better suited to shorter runs or larger sizes where its character can breathe.
