A heavy, blocky slab serif with compact proportions, squared counters, and softened corners throughout. Stems are thick and consistent, with slab terminals that feel bracketed and slightly rounded rather than razor-sharp. Curves (C, G, O, S) are built from squarish arcs, giving the face a sturdy, stamped look, while diagonals (V, W, Y) remain broad and emphatic. Lowercase forms keep a sturdy, constructed rhythm, with single-story a and g, a narrow, vertical i, and a robust, rectangular treatment of bowls and apertures. Numerals are similarly squared and weighty, designed for strong presence and clear silhouette at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, vintage-leaning slab voice is needed. It can work for signage, packaging, and labels thanks to its sturdy construction and highly recognizable letterforms, especially when set with generous tracking or at larger sizes.
The tone is bold and workmanlike, evoking vintage signage, Americana, and utilitarian labeling. Its squared geometry and chunky slabs read as confident and assertive, with a friendly retro warmth from the rounded joins and corners.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, attention-grabbing slab serif with a retro signage flavor—balancing squared, industrial geometry with softened details for a more approachable, print-forward feel.
The design prioritizes silhouette impact over delicacy: terminals are wide, joins are firm, and interior spaces stay relatively tight, producing a dense, high-ink texture in paragraphs. The overall rhythm is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, supporting punchy headlines and short blocks of copy where character is more important than airy readability.
