A heavy, sturdy serif with slab-like feet and mostly square-ended terminals, softened by slight bracketing and subtly rounded corners. Strokes are broadly even with minimal contrast, giving the letters a dense, poster-ready color. Proportions lean compact and vertical, while details like the wide top bar on T, a robust crossbar on A, and the strong, rounded bowls (B, P, R) reinforce a solid, workmanlike build. Lowercase forms are simple and sturdy with a single-storey a and g, a short-armed r, and a straight, upright i with a round dot; figures are weighty and open, designed to hold up at larger sizes.
Best suited to display work such as headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where its dense weight and sturdy slabs can project authority and charm. It can also work for logo wordmarks and short editorial callouts, especially when a vintage, robust feel is desired.
The overall tone feels vintage and editorial, with a friendly ruggedness—like classic display type used for headlines, labels, and heritage branding. Its slightly bouncy rhythm and chunky slabs add approachability while still reading as confident and emphatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, dependable display voice built on slab-serif structure, balancing hard-working solidity with just enough softness and bounce to feel personable in branding and editorial settings.
The face maintains consistent weight across letters, producing strong texture and clear word shapes in short bursts. The slab details are prominent without becoming overly sharp, which helps it stay legible and less brittle in dense, high-contrast applications.
