A sturdy slab-serif with thick, low-contrast strokes and broadly bracketed terminals that soften the blocky structure. Letterforms are generously proportioned and slightly wide, with rounded corners and a consistent, even color across lines of text. Curves are full and open (notably in C, G, O, and S), while verticals and horizontals stay firm and stable. The lowercase is straightforward and readable, with a single-storey a and g, and the numerals are heavy, clear, and evenly set for strong presence.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, posters, and branding where a strong, legible slab voice is needed. It also fits packaging, labels, and editorial layouts that benefit from a sturdy, traditional presence, and can hold up in short-to-medium text blocks where clarity and tonal weight are priorities.
The overall tone is practical and approachable—solid and workmanlike, but not harsh. Its chunky slabs and rounded bracketing give it a quietly retro, sign-and-print feel that reads as dependable and confident in headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended as a dependable slab-serif workhorse: heavy enough to command attention, shaped with bracketing and rounded joins to stay readable and friendly, and structured to maintain an even typographic color across different characters and numerals.
Spacing and rhythm feel steady and deliberate, producing a dense, authoritative texture without looking cramped. The serif treatment is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, helping maintain a cohesive voice from display sizes into larger body settings.
