A heavy, blocky slab serif with substantial, mostly rectangular serifs and soft corner rounding throughout. Strokes are broadly even, with little visible contrast, and the joins and terminals feel sturdy and slightly softened rather than sharp. Counters are open and generously proportioned for the weight, and several letters show subtle notching/ink-trap-like shaping where strokes meet, helping maintain clarity at bold sizes. Overall rhythm is stable and compact, with a consistent, grounded baseline presence.
Best suited to display contexts where bold presence and quick readability matter, such as headlines, posters, packaging, labels, and storefront-style signage. It can also work for short, emphatic subheads or callouts where a solid slab serif texture is desired.
The tone is confident and approachable, with a retro, print-forward solidity that reads as practical rather than delicate. Its chunky slabs and softened edges give it a friendly, dependable voice suited to straightforward, attention-getting typography.
Designed to deliver a robust slab-serif voice with high impact and reliable legibility, emphasizing sturdy construction, consistent weight, and a friendly, utilitarian character for print-forward display use.
The numerals match the letters in mass and squareness, creating a cohesive, signage-like texture. Uppercase forms appear particularly strong and poster-oriented, while the lowercase retains clear differentiation and maintains a consistent, sturdy color across lines.
