A heavy slab serif with thick, rounded terminals and strongly bracketed serifs that read as chunky “feet” at text sizes. Strokes are broadly even with minimal contrast, and counters are compact, giving letters a dense, ink-rich silhouette. Curves are slightly softened rather than sharp, and joins feel robust and simplified for impact. Spacing is moderate with a steady, workmanlike rhythm, while the overall letterforms remain clear and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited for headlines and short blocks of copy where a solid, attention-holding slab texture is desirable. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from a sturdy, legible voice and strong typographic color. For longer text, it works most comfortably at larger sizes where the dense counters have room to breathe.
The tone is sturdy and reassuring, mixing a practical, no-nonsense voice with a warm, approachable friendliness. Its bold slabs and softened details evoke a retro sign-and-poster sensibility without becoming overly decorative, making it feel confident and grounded.
The design appears intended as a dependable, high-impact slab serif that prioritizes clarity and presence. Its softened corners and bracketed slabs suggest a balance between industrial sturdiness and approachable readability for everyday display applications.
The face maintains strong presence in continuous text, with distinctive slab serifs providing clear word shapes. Figures are wide and blocky, matching the weight and stance of the letters for cohesive headlines and numerals-heavy layouts.
