A heavy slab-serif with blocky proportions and pronounced, bracketed serifs. Strokes are thick with a slightly sculpted feel: corners and joins are subtly rounded, and many terminals show small interior notches that read like ink-trap cut-ins. Counters are compact and the overall texture is dense, while the letterforms maintain clear, upright structure with energetic details in diagonals and curves. Numerals and capitals carry strong, geometric massing, and the lowercase is robust with a sturdy, readable silhouette.
Best suited for display typography such as posters, headlines, event graphics, and bold editorial openers. It can also work well for branding elements, packaging labels, and signage where a sturdy, vintage-leaning slab presence is desired.
The font conveys a bold, old-time display attitude with a friendly toughness. Its chunky slabs and carved-in details suggest vintage printing and signage, giving it a confident, slightly playful, throwback character.
Likely designed to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif backbone, adding carved notch details and softened joins to evoke traditional print and sign-lettering while keeping the letterforms bold and highly attention-grabbing.
Serifs are consistently wide and contribute strongly to rhythm, creating a pronounced horizontal emphasis in words. The strong weight and tight internal spaces make it most comfortable at larger sizes where the notches and bracket transitions remain distinct.
