A heavy, slab-serif design with broad proportions and a compact, powerful silhouette. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal contrast and squared, slabby terminals that read as lightly bracketed rather than razor-sharp. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the overall drawing favors simple, stable geometry with rounded joins that keep the texture from feeling brittle. The lowercase is solid and utilitarian, with single-storey forms where expected (notably the "g"), and numerals match the same blunt, sturdy construction.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and signage where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It can also work for packaging and editorial pull quotes that benefit from a sturdy, no-nonsense voice. For longer passages, it will be most comfortable when given generous size and spacing to balance its heavy color.
The tone is tough and dependable with a warm, slightly nostalgic flavor reminiscent of traditional print and poster vernacular. Its assertive weight and slab serifs project confidence and straightforwardness rather than refinement. The overall feel is approachable and practical—more “get it done” than decorative.
The design appears intended as a plainspoken, high-impact slab serif that delivers maximum readability and authority without relying on delicate detail. It prioritizes bold presence, durable shapes, and consistent rhythm for dependable use across common display and short-text settings.
At text sizes the font creates a dark, steady typographic color with clear word shapes, while at display sizes the chunky slabs and broad stance become a defining graphic feature. The heavy serifs and wide set make it especially noticeable in tight line spacing, where the blocks of black can feel emphatic.
