A heavy slab serif with broad proportions, compact counters, and a distinctly sculpted, brackety serif treatment. Strokes are weighty and mostly uniform, with subtle contrast and rounded joins that keep the forms from feeling rigid. Many terminals and inside corners show small notches and cut-ins that add texture and help openings stay clear at large sizes. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with single-storey a and g, a bulbous, closed e, and a short-armed t; numerals are similarly dense and blocky, with a rounded 8 and a substantial 0.
Best suited to headlines, short statements, and branding where strong presence and a classic slab-serif voice are needed. It should perform especially well on posters, packaging, labels, and signage, and can add personality to editorial titles and pull quotes when set with ample space.
The overall tone is bold and assertive while still approachable, mixing old-style print warmth with a poster-like punch. Its chunky slabs and carved details suggest a vintage, workmanlike character suited to attention-grabbing typography rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact slab serif with vintage flavor and improved clarity through sculpted joins and interior cut-ins. It aims to balance muscular weight with friendly, rounded shaping for expressive display typography.
Spacing appears deliberately generous for a display face, helping the dense shapes breathe in headlines. The rhythm is slightly irregular in an intentional way, giving the font a hand-set, letterpress-adjacent texture without becoming distressed.
