A heavy, blocky slab serif with broad, rectangular serifs and mostly squared terminals. Strokes are thick with modest contrast, and curves (C, O, S) are compact and firmly contained, giving the design a tight, punchy silhouette. Serifs read as strongly bracketed and supportive rather than hairline, and joins are sturdy with little delicacy. The lowercase shows a single-story a and g, a wide, arched m/n, and a robust, short-armed r, producing an overall dense, emphatic texture in text.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, and bold editorial callouts where its slabs and dense color can do the heavy lifting. It also fits packaging and branding that wants a sturdy, retro voice, and can work for short subheads or labels when given enough size and spacing to breathe.
The tone is confident and muscular, with a vintage, poster-like bluntness that feels practical and no-nonsense. It suggests classic print ephemera—headlines, sports and retail messaging—where clarity and impact matter more than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a durable slab-serif skeleton—prioritizing strong silhouettes, solid readability, and an unmistakably bold presence in print-like contexts.
Capitals are broad and stable, with a prominent T and E/F that emphasize horizontals, while the numerals are similarly weighty and legible at a glance. Spacing in the sample text appears tight and compact, creating a strong, dark typographic color that works best when set with generous leading or at display sizes.
