A heavy slab serif with broad proportions, blocky silhouettes, and prominent square serifs that read as integrated terminals rather than delicate add-ons. Strokes are largely monolinear with minimal modulation, giving the letters a dense, even color and strong horizontal presence. Corners and joins appear subtly softened, and counters are generous enough to keep forms open at display sizes. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with single-storey shapes (notably the a and g) and short, emphatic serifs that create a consistent, rhythmic texture across text.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where a bold, high-impact voice is needed—posters, signage, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for subheads and callouts in editorial or marketing layouts when you want a sturdy slab-serif presence without looking overly formal.
The overall tone is bold and approachable, combining a workmanlike sturdiness with a slightly nostalgic, poster-era warmth. Its chunky slabs and softened geometry give it a friendly, down-to-earth personality rather than a sharp or formal one.
Designed to deliver a straightforward, dependable slab-serif look with a bold, contemporary mass and a hint of vintage display character. The emphasis appears to be on strong legibility and consistent texture, making it a practical, general-purpose choice for impactful typography.
The uppercase has a particularly strong, sign-like footprint, while the lowercase and numerals keep the same weight and slab treatment for cohesive mixed-case setting. In paragraph samples, the dense weight and wide set produce a punchy texture that favors impact and clarity over delicacy.
