A heavy, blocky slab serif with broad proportions and strongly bracketed, rectangular serifs. Strokes are thick and largely even, with just enough shaping to keep counters open and joins clean. The lowercase is compact and solid, with single-storey forms where shown (notably the “g”), sturdy bowls, and short, confident terminals. Numerals follow the same stout, squared-off logic, producing an overall dense, poster-ready texture with clear vertical rhythm.
Well suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where strong silhouettes and immediate readability are needed. It also fits packaging and branding that want a classic slab-serif confidence, and can work for short labels or signage where bold, stable letterforms help maintain clarity.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, leaning into a classic, workmanlike slab-serif heritage. Its chunky forms and generous serifs give it a dependable, slightly vintage voice that can feel both authoritative and approachable depending on spacing and color.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum presence with a traditional slab-serif backbone: big, confident forms, sturdy serifs, and simplified details that hold up in loud, high-contrast layouts and large-scale applications.
The design reads best when allowed some breathing room: the weight and slab structure create a strong line presence and a distinctly stamped/print-like solidity. Shapes are simplified and consistent across cases, prioritizing impact and recognizability over delicacy.
