A heavy slab serif with broad proportions, substantial stems, and strongly bracketed slabs that soften the joins into the verticals. Curves are full and rounded, with generous counters and a steady, even rhythm across words. The stroke contrast is noticeable but controlled, keeping the letterforms solid and dark while preserving clear internal space. Terminals and serifs read as blunt and supportive rather than sharp, giving the design a robust, print-forward texture.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and short blocks of copy where a strong typographic voice is desired. It also fits branding, packaging, and signage that benefits from a sturdy slab-serif presence and high contrast between text and background.
The overall tone feels confident and slightly nostalgic, evoking classic editorial and poster typography. Its weight and slab structure project reliability and authority, while the rounded curves keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing slab-serif look with a classic print sensibility, balancing authority with approachable, rounded shaping for versatile display use.
In continuous text the font produces a dense, high-ink color with strong word shapes and clear separations between letters. The figures match the chunky, grounded voice of the alphabet, with bold forms that hold up well at larger sizes.
