A very heavy slab-serif with broad proportions, strong bracketed serifs, and a pronounced, compact rhythm. Strokes are thick with noticeable (but not delicate) modulation, and counters are relatively tight, giving a dense, poster-ready color. Terminals and joins feel slightly sculpted rather than purely geometric, with rounded transitions that keep the mass from looking rigid. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with ball-like details and emphatic serifs, and the numerals are weighty and highly present, matching the caps’ strong verticals and wide footprint.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and other display settings where strong typographic presence is needed. It also fits packaging and branding systems that want a classic, sturdy voice, and it can work for signage or labels where the bold slabs improve shape recognition at a glance.
The overall tone is bold and assertive with a vintage, print-forward character. It evokes classic American display typography—confident, hearty, and a bit nostalgic—while staying clean enough for contemporary branding that wants weight and authority.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a traditional slab-serif feel: wide, confident letterforms, firm serifs, and a dense texture intended to dominate layouts and communicate strength and familiarity.
Spacing and silhouettes read as intentionally tight and impactful, favoring solid texture over airy elegance. The slab treatment is consistent across cases, and the heavy serifs create clear horizontal anchors that hold together well in large sizes and short lines.
