A very heavy slab serif with strongly bracketed, blocky serifs and a broad, steady rhythm. Strokes are mostly monoline but show noticeable thick–thin shaping in curves and joins, giving counters a sculpted, carved look. Terminals often end in rounded or slightly teardrop forms, and several letters show beak-like entries and subtle notches at joins that add a faint ink-trap or stamped impression. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with large bowls and short, stout arms, while figures are wide and emphatic with blunt slabs and rounded interior shapes.
Best suited for headlines, display typography, posters, and attention-grabbing branding where a confident slab presence is desired. It can work well for packaging, apparel, or sports and event graphics thanks to its sturdy forms and high visual mass; for longer passages it benefits from larger sizes and comfortable spacing.
The tone is bold and declarative, mixing vintage poster energy with a down-to-earth, workmanlike solidity. Its slab construction and chunky forms evoke American wood type and old editorial headlines, while the softened curves keep it friendly rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif voice—borrowing from wood-type and newspaper headline traditions while adding rounded terminals and sculpted joins for warmth and character.
In text settings the weight and wide proportions create strong word shapes and high impact, but the dense color and tight interior spaces suggest it is happiest when given generous size and some breathing room. The design’s mix of hard slabs and rounded detailing makes it feel both industrial and approachable.
