A heavy slab-serif design with broad proportions, low stroke contrast, and prominent rectangular serifs. Terminals are mostly flat and squared off, producing a blocky silhouette and steady rhythm in text. Curves (C, O, S) are generously rounded but reinforced by thick joins and firm horizontal stress, while counters are open enough to stay clear at display sizes. The lowercase shows sturdy, simplified forms with a single-storey “a,” a round, open “e,” and a compact, utilitarian “t,” all maintaining a consistent, weighty texture across lines.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium display text where its heavy slabs and broad proportions can be appreciated. It works well for posters, packaging, signage, and brand marks that need a sturdy, attention-grabbing voice. In longer passages it will create a dense, emphatic texture, making it more appropriate for punchy editorial callouts than body copy.
The overall tone feels confident and workmanlike, with a slightly retro, editorial flavor. Its chunky slabs and wide stance read as friendly but assertive, suggesting reliability and straightforwardness rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, dependable slab-serif voice with squared terminals and a wide, impactful footprint. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and consistent texture for clear, assertive display typography.
In the sample text the font builds a strong, even color with minimal sparkle, favoring impact over finesse. The squared serifs and broad horizontals create a stable baseline presence, and the wide capitals help headings feel expansive and emphatic.
