A heavy serif with prominent slab-like terminals and clear bracketing into the stems. The design balances broad, sturdy verticals with noticeably rounded bowls and shoulders, giving the letters a dense but approachable texture. Counters are moderately open and the joins are smooth, producing an even rhythm in text despite the weight. Uppercase forms read strong and architectural, while the lowercase keeps a robust, slightly compact feel with rounded details and substantial serifs throughout. Numerals are bold and stable, matching the letterforms with wide curves and firm horizontal endings.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where a strong, durable voice is needed—posters, packaging, book covers, and editorial display work. It can also work for punchy subheads or pull quotes where dense color and clear, slabbed silhouettes help anchor a layout.
The overall tone is confident and grounded, with a distinctly retro, print-forward character. Its chunky slabs and rounded shaping suggest warmth and familiarity rather than sharp formality, making it feel both classic and attention-getting.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional slab-serif foundation, combining sturdy construction with rounded, friendly curves for readable, characterful display typography.
The serifs are consistently thick and visually integrated, helping create strong horizontal accents and a cohesive, poster-ready color. The font maintains a steady baseline and weight distribution, supporting large-size clarity and impactful word shapes.
