A heavy, high-ink slab serif with flat-ended strokes and broad, squared serifs that read as solid blocks. Curves are wide and rounded but kept tight by thick joins, producing compact counters and a strong, even rhythm. The lowercase shows a robust, workmanlike build with pronounced slabs on stems and a single-storey-style feel where applicable, while caps maintain a clear, structured silhouette. Numerals match the mass and weight of the letters, keeping a consistent, punchy color in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where its thick slabs and compact interiors provide immediate impact. It also works well for packaging and brand marks that need a bold, dependable voice, and for short editorial display lines where a vintage, print-forward texture is desired.
The overall tone is sturdy and assertive, with a distinctly vintage, utilitarian flavor. Its dense shapes and emphatic serifs suggest signage, printed ephemera, and old-school editorial display where clarity and impact are paramount.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum emphasis with a dependable slab-serif structure—combining blocky terminals, sturdy proportions, and a consistent, heavy texture for display-driven typography.
At larger sizes the slab details and squared terminals become a key personality cue, while at smaller sizes the tight counters and heavy weight can make text feel dense. The design favors strong vertical presence and clear word shapes over delicate refinement.
