A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, squared serifs and subtly softened corners that keep the texture from feeling mechanical. Strokes are robust with modest contrast and a slightly irregular, inked presence at joins and terminals, creating a gently worn look. Counters are relatively tight and apertures lean compact, while the uppercase maintains broad, blocky proportions and the lowercase shows a straightforward, workmanlike construction. Numerals match the weight and footprint of the letters, reading solid and poster-ready.
Best suited to display work where its heavy slabs and compact counters can form a strong typographic voice: headlines, posters, covers, and branded packaging. It can also serve for editorial subheads and short bursts of text where a sturdy, vintage-flavored texture is desirable, rather than long-form reading at small sizes.
The overall tone is bold and dependable, with a vintage, utilitarian warmth—like letterpress or old signage reinterpreted for clean digital setting. It feels assertive without being aggressive, projecting a friendly, rugged confidence suited to headline-driven typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a durable, classic slab-serif presence with a hint of analog character—prioritizing impact, legibility at display sizes, and a familiar, heritage-leaning texture.
In text, the dense color and pronounced serifs create strong horizontal rhythm and a stable baseline. The slightly uneven edge quality and chunky terminals add personality and help avoid a sterile slab-serif feel, especially at larger sizes.
