A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, squared-off serifs and a largely uniform stroke weight. The letterforms are wide and blocky, with generous internal counters and crisp, flat terminals that keep the texture even and steady across lines. Curves are round but controlled, and the overall geometry favors straight stems, broad bowls, and emphatic horizontals, giving the font a strong, compact silhouette in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It can also work for editorial display typography and brand marks that need a sturdy, dependable slab-serif voice, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is confident and workmanlike, with a warm, approachable heft rather than a delicate or refined feel. Its chunky serifs and broad proportions suggest a retro editorial and poster tradition, projecting clarity and authority while remaining personable.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a clear, traditional slab-serif structure—prioritizing bold presence, stable rhythm, and a straightforward, no-nonsense readability in display settings.
In text, the weight produces a dark, consistent color that holds together well at larger sizes and in short paragraphs. Numerals match the heavy, squared construction, and punctuation and diacritics (as shown) maintain the same blunt, rectangular finishing for a cohesive voice.
