A heavy slab serif with compact proportions, broad vertical stems, and flat, squared serifs that read as blunt caps on the strokes. The curves in letters like C, G, O, and S are generously rounded but kept tight, creating a dense, punchy silhouette. Corners and joins feel crisp and largely unbracketed, while counters are relatively small, emphasizing weight and impact over delicacy. Numerals follow the same sturdy construction with strong horizontals and emphatic terminals.
Best suited for headlines and short blocks where strong presence is needed—posters, display typography, badges, packaging, and bold brand marks. It also works well for signage and labels where a sturdy, high-impact voice is desirable, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is tough and no-nonsense, with a vintage, workmanlike confidence reminiscent of classic poster and signage lettering. Its dense color and squared terminals give it an assertive, utilitarian presence that still feels friendly thanks to the rounded bowls and smooth curves.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with simple, robust forms: a compact slab serif built for attention, legibility at a glance, and a classic display feel rooted in utilitarian print and sign traditions.
The typeface maintains a consistent, even stroke impression while using slab terminals to create strong rhythm across words. In text, it produces a dark, cohesive texture and clear word shapes, with particularly prominent horizontals and end-stops that reinforce a structured, mechanical feel.
