A heavy, blocky slab-serif with compact proportions and strongly bracketed slabs. Strokes are mostly uniform with subtly rounded joins, and the counters are generous for the weight, keeping forms readable. Many terminals show small notches and cut-ins that behave like ink traps, adding texture and improving separation where strokes meet. Overall spacing and rhythm feel sturdy and slightly irregular in a deliberate, display-oriented way.
Best for headlines, poster typography, signage, and packaging where strong presence is needed. It can also work for wordmarks and badges that benefit from sturdy slabs and a slightly playful texture. Use at medium-to-large sizes to let the interior shapes and notched details stay clear.
The tone is bold and attention-grabbing, with a vintage poster energy that reads both friendly and tough. The chunky slabs and soft rounding create a warm, approachable feel, while the deep notches add a rugged, workmanlike edge. It suggests classic Americana and headline typography without feeling delicate or refined.
Likely designed as a characterful, high-impact slab serif that combines poster-era solidity with practical cut-ins for clearer joins in heavy weight. The goal appears to be maximum visual punch with approachable, rounded construction and distinctive terminal detailing.
The alphabet shows consistent slab treatment across straight and curved letters, with pronounced feet and caps that give lines of text a strong baseline and capline. Numerals are similarly weighty and simplified, designed to hold up in large sizes. In the sample text, the heavy color and distinctive notching create strong word shapes, best suited to short lines rather than dense paragraphs.
