A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, bracketed serifs and a compact, blocky build. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation for a serif of this weight, with rounded joins and subtly softened corners that keep counters open. Capitals are wide and assertive, while the lowercase is relatively compact with stout stems and pronounced serifs; the forms read slightly squarish overall, with generous internal space for legibility at display sizes. Numerals are weighty and stable, matching the strong baseline presence and consistent serif treatment across the set.
Best suited for posters, headlines, and short blocks of copy where a strong, unmistakable voice is needed. It also fits branding elements such as logotypes, labels, and packaging that benefit from a heritage or handcrafted print feel, and it can hold up well in signage thanks to its sturdy serifs and open counters.
The overall tone feels vintage and workmanlike, with a classic poster-and-print character. It suggests a Western or heritage influence without becoming overly decorative, projecting confidence, toughness, and a friendly solidity.
Likely intended to deliver a bold, traditional slab-serif voice that feels rooted in classic print—strong enough for display while retaining enough clarity and counter space to work in brief text settings. The bracketed slabs and rounded shaping aim to combine toughness with approachability.
The design balances robust slabs with noticeable internal shaping, so it avoids looking purely geometric or monoline. The rhythm in text is dense and emphatic, with strong horizontal terminals that create a clear, marching texture in paragraphs and headlines.
