A heavy slab serif with broad proportions and strongly bracketed serifs that read as squared-off but softened at the corners. Strokes are thick and steady with modest contrast, giving the letters a dense, poster-like color on the page. The forms lean toward rounded bowls and terminals, with apertures and counters kept relatively compact, and a consistent, workmanlike rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
This style suits bold headlines, display typography, signage, and packaging where a strong, dependable voice is needed. It can also support branding and editorial callouts, especially where a retro-leaning slab serif presence helps anchor a layout.
The overall tone feels sturdy and approachable, with a slightly nostalgic, American slab flavor. Its rounded edges and generous weight make it feel friendly rather than severe, while still projecting confidence and solidity.
The design appears intended as a no-nonsense display slab: robust, legible at large sizes, and visually warm through rounded detailing. It prioritizes impact and even texture over fine detail, making it a reliable choice for attention-grabbing typographic statements.
In text lines the heavy weight and tight internal spaces can darken paragraphs, so it tends to read best with comfortable tracking and adequate line spacing. The numerals match the same blocky, softened slab logic, supporting consistent, emphatic settings.
