A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions and a compact, print-like rhythm. Strokes are heavy with noticeable contrast, and the slabs are thick and mostly bracketed, creating a confident, poster-ready texture. Terminals tend toward squared-off shapes, while joins and counters show subtle rounding that keeps the forms from feeling rigid. The lowercase is robust and readable, with short, strong serifs and open counters, and the numerals are similarly weighty and stable for display use.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, classic slab-serif voice is needed. It should perform well for editorial display, packaging, labels, and signage that benefit from sturdy forms and high impact at larger sizes.
The overall tone is bold and workmanlike, evoking vintage printing and headline typography. It carries a slightly rugged, frontier/editorial character—confident and attention-grabbing without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-inspired slab-serif presence with broad proportions and emphatic serifs, optimized for impactful display typography while retaining enough clarity for short text blocks.
Spacing in the sample text reads generous and even, helping the heavy forms stay legible at large sizes. The design favors strong horizontals and clear slab presence, giving lines of text a pronounced, structured baseline and cap-line feel.
