A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, squared terminals and short, bracketed serifs that read as blocky and print-forward. Strokes are robust with noticeable (but not extreme) modulation, giving round letters a slightly sculpted, inked feel. Counters are compact and apertures tend to be tight, which increases density and impact, while curves (C, O, S) are broadly rounded and sit on firm horizontal feet. The lowercase shows a two-storey a, a compact e with a strong horizontal bar, and a single-storey g with an open ear; numerals are bold and rounded with clear, stable forms.
Best suited for headlines, mastheads, packaging, and branding that benefits from weight and presence. It also works well for short editorial callouts, pull quotes, and signage-style graphics where a sturdy slab-serif texture is desired.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a retro editorial flavor that suggests posters, headlines, and utilitarian signage. Its dense color and emphatic serifs give it a confident, slightly industrial voice—more commanding than delicate—while the rounded bowls keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing slab-serif voice with a classic print sensibility—combining strong horizontal grounding with rounded forms for a distinctive, impactful reading texture.
In text, the heavy serifs and tight counters create a strong rhythmic texture and pronounced word shapes, especially at larger sizes. The design’s chunkier details may fill in at very small sizes, but it delivers high impact and clear character in display settings.
