A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions and a compact, sturdy build. Strokes are thick with subtle modulation, paired with prominent, squared serifs that read as slightly bracketed rather than razor-sharp. Curves are full and rounded (notably in C, G, O, S), while joins and terminals stay blunt and weighty, creating a dense, poster-ready texture. Spacing feels generous and stable, and the overall rhythm is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with strong, legible counters despite the mass of the letterforms.
Best suited to display settings where impact and clarity matter: headlines, posters, packaging, and signage. It also fits sports and event branding, editorial openers, and any layout needing a bold typographic anchor that remains readable at a glance.
The tone is assertive and dependable, with a nostalgic, workmanlike flavor that nods to classic print and signage. Its bold slabs and rounded forms project a friendly toughness—confident, attention-grabbing, and slightly retro—without feeling overly decorative.
Likely designed to deliver maximum visual authority with classic slab-serif credibility, balancing big, blocky forms with enough rounding and internal space to stay readable. The emphasis appears to be on strong branding and attention-getting typography that still feels familiar and traditional.
Caps carry a strong, emblematic presence suited to headings, while the lowercase keeps the same solid architecture for cohesive paragraph texture at larger sizes. Numerals are similarly weighty and straightforward, emphasizing readability and punch over delicacy.
