A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with broad proportions and strongly bracketed serifs. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with subtly softened corners and a slightly condensed, compact interior space that keeps counters small and dark. Several joins show small notches and bite-like cut-ins that read like ink-trap details at display sizes, adding texture without breaking the overall solidity. The lowercase follows the same sturdy construction, with a sturdy single-storey “a” and a robust, rounded “e,” while figures are wide and weighty with clear slab footing.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, headlines, signage, and branding where strong impact is required. It can also work for short emphatic lines on packaging or editorial openers, but its dense texture and tight apertures suggest avoiding long body text at small sizes.
The overall tone is confident and assertive, with a vintage, workmanlike presence. Its chunky slabs and compact counters evoke classic poster and sign lettering, leaning toward a Western/heritage feel while still reading as bold and contemporary in mass.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual weight and readability in display contexts, combining traditional slab serif structure with subtle notched detailing for a rugged, print-forward voice.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and dense, creating strong word shapes and an even, dark text color. The numerals and capitals feel especially suited to large-scale setting, where the bracketed slabs and small cut-ins become part of the font’s character.
