A heavy, chunky slab serif with broad proportions and soft, rounded joins. The serifs read as thick slabs with subtle bracketing, giving the letters a carved, stamped feel rather than sharp mechanical corners. Counters are relatively small for the weight, with generous internal rounding; curves (C, G, O, S) stay full and smooth while terminals remain blunt and sturdy. The lowercase is robust and simple with a large x-height and short extenders, and the figures are wide, bold, and built to match the same slabbed rhythm.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, headlines, signage, packaging, and bold brand marks where its slabbed silhouette and wide stance can do the work. It can also serve for short subheads or callouts, especially when paired with a simpler text face for body copy.
The overall tone is confident and attention-grabbing, with a friendly, throwback character. It evokes vintage poster and storefront lettering—solid, unmissable, and slightly playful—while still feeling structured and legible at display sizes.
Likely drawn to deliver maximum impact with a vintage slab-serif voice: strong, stable letterforms with softened edges for approachability and a classic, sign-painter/poster sensibility.
The design emphasizes strong horizontal presence: thick crossbars, substantial serifs, and rounded interior shapes create a steady, even texture in words. The bold weight and tight internal spaces suggest it will need comfortable tracking and ample size to avoid dark, clogged passages in dense settings.
