A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with broad proportions and a compact, dense color on the page. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with blocky slab terminals that are subtly bracketed, giving corners a slightly softened, ink-trap-like feel rather than razor-sharp geometry. Counters are fairly tight and apertures are modest, producing a punchy silhouette in both uppercase and lowercase. Numerals follow the same chunky, stable construction, reading clearly with consistent weight and strong baseline presence.
Best suited for display settings where strong presence is needed—headlines, subheads, posters, and attention-grabbing editorial callouts. It can also work well for branding and packaging that benefits from a sturdy, retro-leaning slab serif voice, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the dense weight reads cleanly.
The overall tone feels bold and dependable with a touch of vintage print character. Its chunky slabs and steady rhythm communicate confidence and practicality, while the slanted stance adds forward motion and an energetic, headline-ready voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable, high-impact slab serif for everyday display typography—built to stay readable under heavy weight, maintain a consistent rhythm, and deliver a confident, print-forward feel without relying on ornate quirks.
In the sample text, the weight creates strong emphasis and a dark typographic texture, making spacing and word shapes a prominent part of readability. The letterforms remain straightforward and consistent across the set, prioritizing solidity and impact over delicate detail.
