A heavy, oblique slab-serif with squared, unbracketed serifs and robust, low-contrast strokes. Counters are generally open and round, while joins and terminals stay blunt and structural, creating a steady, muscular rhythm. The italic slant is consistent across caps and lowercase, with a slightly condensed feel in some glyphs and prominent slab feet that read clearly at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same blocky, upright construction, giving the set a unified, sturdy texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and other display applications where strong serifs and an oblique stance can carry the message. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and promotional graphics that need a sturdy, vintage-leaning typographic anchor.
The overall tone feels bold and self-assured, with a vintage, print-forward character reminiscent of headlines and signage. Its strong slabs and forward-leaning stance add energy and a slightly rugged, workmanlike attitude without becoming overly ornamental.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif structure, combining sturdy, square-cut serifs with an energetic slant for attention-grabbing display typography.
The design favors clear silhouettes and emphatic terminals over fine detail, producing high impact in short phrases. Rounded forms (like O/Q and o/e) contrast nicely with the square-cut serifs, helping the face maintain readability while keeping a distinctly chunky voice.
