A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters, built from confident, rectangular forms and short, sturdy brackets. Serifs read as chunky and supportive rather than delicate, with subtle notches/ink-trap-like cut-ins at some joins that help open shapes at display sizes. Curves are full and slightly squared-off, keeping a strong, poster-like rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Overall spacing feels generous and the silhouettes stay bold and stable, emphasizing solidity over fine detail.
Best suited to display typography where mass and presence matter: headlines, posters, branding marks, labels, and bold on-pack copy. It can also work for short subheads or callouts where a sturdy, attention-grabbing slab voice is desired, rather than long passages of small text.
The tone is bold and dependable, with a distinctly retro, workmanlike character that still feels approachable. It projects strength and practicality—more storefront sign and headline punch than refined editorial quiet—while the rounded corners keep it from feeling harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy slab-serif voice, combining wide, block-like proportions with subtle join detailing to keep counters from clogging. It aims for a classic, utilitarian display feel that reads quickly and holds up in bold, high-contrast applications.
Lowercase has a sturdy, compact feel with short ascenders/descenders relative to the heavy weight, and the numerals are similarly wide and emphatic for clear impact in large settings. The heavy horizontals and slabs create a strong baseline and cap-line presence, making word shapes feel dense and graphic.
