A heavy slab serif with squared-off, flat terminals and a largely even stroke color. The letterforms are broad with open counters and strong horizontal emphasis, while the serifs read as blunt rectangular blocks rather than tapered or bracketed forms. Curves are generous but controlled, producing round bowls in letters like O and e that stay firm at the joins. The lowercase shows a sturdy, workmanlike texture with a two-storey a and single-storey g, plus short ascenders/descenders that keep lines visually compact.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, and signage where its heavy slabs and broad shapes can project authority and stay legible at a distance. It also works well for packaging and editorial callouts that need a vintage-leaning, sturdy serif presence.
The overall tone is solid and dependable, leaning toward an industrial, print-era practicality. Its chunky slabs and confident proportions evoke vintage signage and editorial display typography, with a no-nonsense voice that feels assertive rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and clarity through blunt slab serifs, broad proportions, and an even stroke weight. It prioritizes a strong typographic silhouette and a stable, print-forward texture for attention-grabbing, practical communication.
At text sizes the face maintains a strong, dark rhythm, with wide capitals and emphatic serifs that create clear word shapes. Numerals are similarly robust and straightforward, matching the blocky serif treatment for consistent emphasis in headings and figures.
