A dense, heavy slab-serif with compact proportions and a tall, blocky lowercase. Strokes are largely monolinear, with subtle modulation, and the serifs are thick and strongly bracketed, creating soft corners rather than sharp slabs. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend toward closed, giving the design a solid, ink-heavy texture. Terminals and joins are squared-off and robust, and the overall rhythm reads steady and emphatic in both the alphabet grid and running text.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and display settings where strong presence and quick recognition matter—posters, packaging, menu headings, labels, and signage. It can also work for editorial callouts and subheads where a sturdy, vintage-flavored slab texture is desired.
The font projects a confident, down-to-earth tone—more warm and workmanlike than refined. Its chunky slabs and rounded brackets evoke vintage printing and utilitarian signage, with a friendly sturdiness that feels approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy, print-like slab-serif voice: thick brackets, compact interiors, and a consistent, weighty rhythm aimed at bold messaging and vintage-leaning branding.
In text, the dense color and tight internal spaces make it feel punchy and compact, with strong word shapes driven by the tall x-height. Numerals match the same heavy, grounded construction, maintaining the same blunt, poster-forward presence as the letters.
