A chunky slab-serif with broad proportions and compact counters. Strokes are heavy and even, with square-ended, blocky serifs that read as slightly bracketed and softly eased rather than razor-sharp. The rhythm feels sturdy and compact, with rounded joins and subtle irregularities that create a mildly “printed” texture. Numerals and capitals are especially weighty, and many terminals look clipped or flattened, emphasizing a poster-like silhouette.
Best suited for short-to-medium display copy where strong letterforms and a bold page color are desirable—headlines, poster typography, cover titling, and packaging or labels. It can also work for punchy subheads or pull quotes when set with generous spacing to keep the texture from feeling too dense.
The font conveys a vintage, workmanlike tone—part newspaper headline, part old poster. Its dense weight and squared serifs feel dependable and assertive, while the slightly softened shaping keeps it friendly and a bit quirky rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver an emphatic slab-serif voice with a vintage print sensibility—prioritizing impact, warmth, and recognizability over delicate detail.
In text, the heavy color builds quickly, giving lines a strong presence and a dark typographic texture. The mix of squarish serifs and rounded inner shapes produces a distinctive, slightly bouncy cadence that suits display settings more than long-form reading at small sizes.
