A heavy slab-serif with blunt, bracketed terminals and generously filled-in counters. Strokes are sturdy and mostly even, with subtle modulation that keeps joins from feeling mechanical. The serifs read as thick blocks with softened corners, and curves are broad and rounded, giving the alphabet a compact, press-like silhouette. Spacing appears sturdy and slightly tight, supporting strong word shapes at display sizes and in short text settings.
This font is well suited to attention-forward headlines, posters, and signage where strong color and clear silhouettes are needed. It also works well for branding and packaging that wants a sturdy, heritage-leaning voice, and it can hold up in short paragraphs or pull quotes when set with comfortable leading.
The overall tone feels bold and approachable, with a classic, slightly old-fashioned flavor. Its chunky slabs and softened curves evoke a dependable, workwear sensibility—confident without feeling sharp or formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a straightforward, hard-working slab serif with broad usability, prioritizing impact and readability over delicate detail. Its softened, bracketed slabs suggest an aim for warmth and familiarity while retaining the authority of a heavy serif.
Uppercase forms are wide and steady, while lowercase maintains a solid, readable rhythm with prominent verticals and rounded bowls. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and serif treatment, keeping headings and pricing-style figures visually consistent.
