A compact, heavy slab serif with blunt terminals and squared, block-like construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as sturdy, bracketed slabs that broaden the silhouettes without adding delicacy. Corners tend to be slightly softened, giving the shapes a stamped, poster-like solidity. Spacing is tight and the overall rhythm is dense, producing strong, dark text color in both caps and lowercase, with robust numerals that match the weight and stance.
Best suited to display settings where weight and density help text hold attention—posters, headlines, product packaging, labels, and bold signage. It can also work for short paragraphs or pull quotes when a compact, high-impact texture is desired, though its heavy color may feel assertive in long-form reading.
The font projects a punchy, no-nonsense attitude with a clear vintage flavor. Its chunky slabs and compact proportions evoke old posters, storefront lettering, and utilitarian print—confident, slightly rustic, and friendly rather than formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, bold slab voice with a vintage-print sensibility: compact, highly legible at large sizes, and visually sturdy for attention-grabbing typography.
In continuous text the strong serifs and narrow fit create a firm horizontal cadence, while the rounded edges keep the tone from feeling harsh. The design maintains consistent weight across letters and figures, emphasizing impact and presence over refinement.
