A heavy, compact slab-serif with thick, squared strokes and substantial, block-like serifs. The design keeps counters fairly open for its weight, with rounded joins and softened corners that prevent the forms from feeling overly rigid. Serifs read as sturdy and slightly bracketed, giving a carved, anchored look while maintaining a consistent, even rhythm. Overall proportions are broad and stable, with a strong baseline presence and clear, assertive silhouettes across letters and numerals.
Best suited to display settings where impact and legibility at larger sizes matter—headlines, posters, labels, and bold editorial callouts. It can also work for branding elements and signage that benefit from a sturdy slab-serif voice, though the heavy weight will dominate in long passages.
The tone is bold and dependable, combining a vintage workhorse feel with a slightly genial warmth. It suggests classic storefront and poster lettering—confident, attention-grabbing, and straightforward rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a dependable slab-serif structure, echoing traditional print and sign typography while staying approachable through rounded shaping. It prioritizes bold presence, quick recognition, and a consistent, rugged texture in both caps and lowercase.
The italic/oblique angle is not evident; the font reads squarely forward with emphatic terminals and strong horizontal emphasis. Numerals match the weight and solidity of the letters, reinforcing a cohesive, sign-like texture in text.
