A compact, heavy slab serif with short, bracketed serifs and noticeably softened corners. Strokes are thick and even, producing a steady, low-contrast rhythm, while the counters are kept relatively open for the weight. The overall proportions are condensed, with tall, straight-sided verticals and rounded joins that prevent the design from feeling harsh. Numerals and lowercase share the same stout construction, with simple, workmanlike forms and clear terminals that hold up in dense settings.
Best suited to headlines and display sizes where its compact width and sturdy slabs can deliver impact, such as posters, signage, labels, and packaging. It can also work for short, emphatic text blocks—pull quotes, menu headings, or interface titles—where a robust, legible voice is needed.
The tone reads sturdy and utilitarian with a vintage, poster-like flavor—evoking workwear labels, wood type, and old storefront signage. Rounded edges add a friendly, approachable warmth, keeping the heaviness from feeling overly severe.
The design appears intended to provide a tough, compact slab-serif presence for attention-grabbing typography, balancing industrial strength with softened corners for broader, more approachable use in branding and display.
In text, the strong vertical emphasis and tight fit create a bold, economical color on the page, making it feel authoritative without becoming brittle. The slab serifs are prominent enough to signal a serif voice, yet restrained enough to keep the texture consistent across lines.
