A heavy, compact slab-serif with broad proportions and strongly bracketed, rectangular serifs. Strokes are thick and decisive, with noticeable but not delicate contrast; joins and inner corners show slightly scooped or notched shaping that adds a cut-from-wood/metal feel and helps keep counters open at large sizes. The overall construction is sturdy and geometric, with rounded bowls kept taut and wide, and a consistent rhythm that reads as a unified, display-forward system across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where a strong slab presence is desirable. It also works well for signage and bold brand marks, especially in contexts aiming for a heritage or workmanlike aesthetic.
The tone is bold and assertive with a vintage, utilitarian flavor—evoking classic poster type, workwear branding, and old-school signage. It feels dependable and strong rather than refined, projecting authority and friendliness through its chunky slabs and softened corners.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and clarity at display sizes while maintaining a consistent, rugged slab-serif identity. Its bracketed slabs and subtly carved interior shaping suggest a goal of combining traditional poster typography cues with practical legibility in heavy weights.
In text lines, the weight and wide set create a dense, high-impact texture; spacing appears generous enough to avoid clogging despite the heavy serifs. The numerals match the letterforms in bulk and presence, supporting prominent numeric callouts.
