A heavy, slab-serif design with broad, blocky strokes and clearly bracketed, rectangular serifs. The letterforms are compact and weighty, with rounded corners and softened joins that keep the texture from feeling harsh. Counters are relatively small and the overall rhythm is dense and even, producing a strong, poster-like color on the page. Terminals and serifs read as squared-off and substantial, giving the face a planted, durable presence.
This font is well suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and bold UI or editorial callouts. Its chunky slabs and compact counters hold up especially well in branding, packaging, and signage where clarity and authority are needed at display sizes.
The tone is bold and dependable, leaning traditional and workmanlike with a touch of warmth from the rounded shaping. It evokes practical, old-school signage and print ephemera—confident, no-nonsense, and approachable rather than elegant.
The design appears intended as a straightforward, dependable slab serif that prioritizes strength, readability at display sizes, and a classic printed feel. Its consistent, blocky construction suggests a focus on practical utility and bold emphasis rather than delicate detail.
Numerals and capitals share the same solid, squared construction, helping headings feel consistent and emphatic. In longer text, the heavy weight creates a pronounced typographic texture, making it best when ample size and spacing are available.
