A heavy, slab-serif design with broad proportions, sturdy verticals, and pronounced bracketed slabs that create a strong horizontal footprint. Curves are generously rounded and the joins feel smooth rather than sharp, giving the forms a cushioned, robust texture. Spacing and rhythm read even and steady in text, with large counters and simple, emphatic shapes that stay clear at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines and short passages where impact and clarity are priorities, such as posters, branding wordmarks, packaging fronts, and signage. The heavy slabs and wide stance hold up well in large sizes and in high-contrast applications, where a strong, dependable presence is needed.
The overall tone is bold and reassuring, with a warm, throwback solidity reminiscent of classic signage and athletic or campus graphics. Its weight and soft bracketing make it feel approachable rather than harsh, projecting confidence and durability.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum presence with an orderly, classic slab-serif voice—pairing strong structure with rounded, friendly details. The emphasis is on clear silhouettes and a consistent, sturdy rhythm that reads confidently in display typography.
Uppercase forms lean toward squared, architectural silhouettes, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike structure with rounded bowls and sturdy terminals. Numerals are full and highly legible, matching the same heavy, grounded stance as the letters.
