A heavy, slab-serif display face with broad proportions and robust, bracketed serifs. Strokes are thick with subtly rounded joins and a moderate amount of contrast that shows most clearly in curved letters and the transitions into the slabs. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is compact, giving words a dense, punchy color on the page. Terminals tend to be blunt and squared, while curves (notably in S, G, and the numerals) are slightly softened, keeping the texture bold without feeling brittle.
Best suited to short to medium-length text where impact matters—headlines, deck copy, posters, and bold brand statements. It also fits packaging and signage that benefit from strong contrast against the background and a traditional, print-forward character.
The tone is assertive and dependable, with a nostalgic print feel reminiscent of posters, headlines, and classic editorial titling. Its weight and slab structure communicate solidity and authority, while the rounded shaping and lively curves add a friendly, slightly playful warmth.
The design appears intended to deliver high-impact readability with a classic slab-serif backbone, combining sturdy geometry and bracketed serifs with slightly softened curves for a more approachable display voice.
Uppercase forms read especially monumental and stable, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, bookish presence with clearly differentiated shapes. Numerals are wide and heavy, matching the headline-driven voice and maintaining strong visibility in mixed settings.
