A heavy slab serif with broad proportions and a tall x-height, built from largely even, firm strokes and squared-off terminals. The serifs read as blunt, rectangular blocks that give the outlines a sturdy, poster-ready silhouette, while bowls and counters stay fairly open for the weight. Curves are rounded but kept tight and controlled, creating a crisp rhythm across text. Uppercase forms feel wide and stable, and the numerals match with similarly robust, high-ink shapes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, signage, and branding where a strong, attention-grabbing slab presence is desired. It can also work for short bursts of text in packaging or editorial callouts, where its dense color and sturdy details reinforce emphasis.
The overall tone is strong and workmanlike, with a retro, campus-and-poster energy. It conveys confidence and solidity, leaning more toward utilitarian display than delicate refinement.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact and clarity through bold slabs, wide stance, and a tall lowercase, producing a strong typographic voice that remains legible and consistent in display settings.
The design’s squared endings and prominent slabs create clear horizontal accents, which increases impact at large sizes. In paragraphs the dense color and tall x-height keep the texture bold and emphatic, especially in mixed-case settings.
