A heavy, bracketed slab-serif with broad proportions and a dense, blocky color on the page. Strokes show noticeable contrast for a slab design: sturdy verticals paired with fuller slabs and subtly tapered joins, giving counters a rounded, slightly pinched feel in places. Serifs are wide and strongly anchored, with softened transitions that keep the overall texture cohesive rather than sharp. The lowercase is compact and weighty with prominent terminals, while the numerals are large, sturdy, and built for impact.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where its slab structure and weight can carry across distance and competing visuals. It can also work for bold wordmarks and labels, especially when a retro or industrial voice is desired.
The tone is bold and forthright, with a vintage, workmanlike character that feels at home in classic advertising and display typography. Its chunky slabs and compact counters add a friendly, approachable warmth while still reading as strong and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a robust slab-serif skeleton, balancing strength with softened details for a more approachable display voice. Its proportions and dense color suggest emphasis on attention-grabbing typography for titles and branding rather than extended small-size text.
At larger sizes the font’s strong slab presence and tight internal spaces create a punchy, poster-like rhythm. In denser settings the heavy weight and compact counters can build a dark texture, so it benefits from generous spacing and short-to-medium line lengths.
