A heavy slab serif with broad proportions, dense color, and bracketed rectangular serifs that read as strong horizontal “shelves.” Strokes are robust with modest contrast, and many joins show slight rounding and soft internal shaping that keeps counters open at large sizes. Terminals tend to be flat and squared-off, while curves (notably in C, G, S, and numerals) are full and somewhat squarish, creating a compact, mechanical rhythm. The lowercase is straightforward and sturdy, with a single-storey g and overall firm, workmanlike spacing.
Best suited to headlines and short display copy where the bold slabs and wide stance can create strong hierarchy. It also fits signage, packaging, and label-style layouts that benefit from a robust, vintage-inflected voice, and can work for editorial pull quotes when set with generous leading.
The tone is bold, direct, and utilitarian, with a vintage, letterpress-adjacent feel. Its mass and slab structure evoke signage, packaging, and old-time display typography, balancing toughness with a slightly softened, friendly edge.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy slab-serif structure and wide, blocky forms, tuned for display legibility and a classic, print-forward personality.
Distinctive features include the strong slab horizontals, the rounded/bracketed transitions into serifs, and a compact, high-impact silhouette that stays legible in short bursts. Numerals are similarly weighty and simple, designed to hold their presence in headings and labels.
