A heavy, slab-serif design with broad, squared serifs that read as solid blocks and slightly bracketed joins. Stems are thick and steady with largely even stroke weight, while counters are compact and rounded, giving letters a dense, high-ink texture. The proportions feel slightly condensed in places and the rhythm is emphatic, with strong horizontals and terminals that keep word shapes chunky and stable. Numerals share the same robust construction, with wide, open bowls on 0/8/9 and firm, rectangular feet where applicable.
Best suited to headlines, short copy, and large-format applications where a strong typographic voice is needed, such as posters, signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. It also works well for editorial display and pull quotes where a compact, sturdy slab-serif texture is desirable.
The overall tone is bold and self-assured, leaning into a vintage, poster-like presence. Its chunky slabs and compact counters create a grounded, workmanlike feel that can also read as approachable due to the rounded interior shapes.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum punch and stability through oversized slabs, compact interiors, and consistent, high-weight strokes—optimized for attention-grabbing display typography with a classic, slightly retro flavor.
At display sizes the serifs and brackets become a defining feature, creating clear horizontal anchoring and a strong baseline. In longer text the dense color and tight counters make it feel weighty, emphasizing impact over delicacy.
