A heavy, compact slab-serif with broad proportions and a strong, even color on the page. Strokes are largely monolinear, with squared terminals and pronounced slab serifs that read slightly bracketed, softening the joins. Counters are fairly open for the weight, while curves and corners show subtle rounding that keeps the texture from feeling harsh. Lowercase forms are straightforward and workmanlike, with sturdy stems, short extenders, and a consistent rhythm across text and numerals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short-to-medium blocks of copy where a firm slab-serif texture is desirable. It can also work well for branding, packaging, and signage that needs a confident, readable voice with a classic, workhorse feel.
The overall tone is practical and dependable, with a warm, slightly nostalgic voice. It suggests utilitarian signage and editorial headline typography—solid and approachable rather than elegant or delicate.
Designed to deliver a robust slab-serif presence with straightforward, no-nonsense letterforms and a friendly sturdiness. The emphasis appears to be on clarity and impact, balancing strong slabs with slightly softened detailing to keep the tone approachable.
At larger sizes the heavy slabs and softened corners give a poster-like presence, while in paragraphs the dense weight produces a strong, assertive typographic color. The figures and capitals feel built for impact, with clear silhouettes and minimal flourish.
