A heavy, compact slab-serif with chunky proportions and firmly planted, square-ended serifs. Strokes are broadly even with minimal modulation, producing a dense, poster-ready color and crisp silhouettes. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while joins and corners stay decisive rather than calligraphic. The lowercase shows a sturdy, workmanlike rhythm, and the numerals match with wide, stable forms and simple, strongly defined terminals.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, posters, and packaging where a strong typographic voice is needed. It can also work for editorial display and prominent UI or wayfinding labels, especially when high contrast against the background and quick recognition are priorities.
The overall tone is confident and dependable, with a warm, approachable heft that reads as classic and utilitarian rather than delicate. Its strong slabs and compact shapes evoke an editorial and slightly retro sensibility—straightforward, emphatic, and built to hold attention.
Likely designed to deliver a bold, dependable slab-serif voice that stays highly legible while projecting authority. The emphasis appears to be on sturdy construction, consistent texture, and graphic presence for display settings.
At text sizes the face keeps a consistent, dark texture, while at larger sizes the slab details and squared terminals become a key graphic feature. The design favors clarity and impact over finesse, making short lines feel especially solid and grounded.
