A heavy slab serif with broad, chunky proportions and strong, rectangular serifs that feel slightly bracketed into the stems. Strokes are mostly monolinear, but the serif junctions and curves introduce a subtle modeled rhythm rather than a purely geometric construction. Counters are generous and fairly open for the weight, with rounded bowls and sturdy terminals that keep forms readable at large sizes. The overall texture is dense and even, with consistent vertical emphasis and stable baseline behavior across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short-form typography where weight and serif presence are an advantage—posters, packaging, branding lockups, and bold editorial titling. It can also work for signage or callouts where high impact and a steady texture matter more than delicate detail.
The font projects a confident, dependable tone with a classic poster-and-print sensibility. Its big slabs and compact, muscular shapes give it a straightforward, workmanlike authority, while the softened curves keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a traditional slab-serif backbone, balancing strong rectangular serifs with rounded inner shapes for approachable readability. It aims for a solid, print-forward voice that feels at home in bold titles and attention-grabbing typographic statements.
Caps have a strong, sign-like presence with wide shoulders and prominent slabs, while the lowercase maintains a similarly robust voice without becoming overly condensed. Numerals follow the same blocky construction and hold up well in bold settings, reinforcing a cohesive, display-oriented character.
