A compact slab-serif with chunky, bracketed serifs and softly squared terminals that give the strokes a sturdy, cut-from-type feel. The curves are slightly flattened and the joins are subtly pinched, creating an ink-trap-like crispness at interior corners. Proportions stay relatively narrow with steady rhythm, while individual letters show small width differences that keep text lively. Lowercase forms are straightforward and readable, with a two-storey “a,” a compact “e,” and a tall, sturdy “t,” and the numerals follow the same blocky, stable construction.
Well suited to display work where a bold, approachable slab serif is needed—headlines, posters, packaging, and branding systems that want a handcrafted or heritage-leaning voice. It also reads clearly in short editorial bursts such as pull quotes, section heads, and book-cover titling.
The overall tone is warm and slightly mischievous—classic in structure but intentionally rugged around the edges. It suggests letterpress or wood-type energy without becoming distressed, balancing friendliness with a confident, headline-ready presence.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional slab-serif foundation with squarer terminals, compact proportions, and slightly pinched joins for added snap. Its goal is to deliver a sturdy, attention-getting texture that feels familiar and human rather than strictly geometric.
Capitals present strong vertical emphasis and confident serifs that hold up well in larger sizes, while the rounded letters (like O and Q) retain a gently squared silhouette that reinforces the font’s constructed, sturdy character. The punctuation and ampersand shown in the sample text match the same bold, slabbed finishing, keeping voice consistent across mixed-case settings.
