A heavy, slab-serif display face with chunky, bracketed slabs and softly rounded joins that keep the mass from feeling rigid. Strokes show moderate contrast for the weight, with broad verticals and slightly tapered or notched terminals in places, producing a lively, hand-cut rhythm. Counters are compact and the overall construction is wide and low-contrast in silhouette, with prominent serifs that remain clearly separated from the stems. The lowercase is robust and highly sculpted, with single-storey forms and strong, wedge-like details that emphasize an old-style poster texture.
Well suited to posters, headlines, logos, and branding that needs a sturdy, vintage voice. It also works well on packaging and signage where bold slabs and wide proportions help maintain impact at a distance. Use generous spacing and sufficient size to preserve counter clarity in longer lines.
The tone is bold and confident with a nostalgic, showcard flavor. Its big slabs and softened corners suggest Americana and collegiate signage, while the slightly quirky shaping adds friendliness and a touch of humor. Overall it reads as assertive, attention-seeking, and comfortably retro rather than formal.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif poster sensibility, combining strong, blocky forms with softened, bracketed details. The intent appears to be a confident display face that feels traditional and approachable, echoing antique print and sign-lettering conventions while staying highly legible at large sizes.
The face holds together best at display sizes where the sculpted terminals and brackets can be seen clearly; in dense text settings the heavy color and tight counters can feel compact. Numerals match the headline intent with broad shapes and strong slab accents that keep them visually consistent with the letters.
