A heavy slab serif with broad proportions and a dense, poster-ready color. The serifs are chunky and mostly bracketed, with softened joins that keep the shapes from feeling mechanical. Stroke endings are squared-off and substantial, counters are relatively tight for the weight, and curves are generously rounded. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g and maintains a robust, even rhythm; figures are similarly stout and highly legible at display sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and bold branding where strong presence and quick readability matter. It also fits packaging, signage, and editorial display applications that benefit from a classic slab-serif authority with a warm, printed feel.
The font projects a dependable, no-nonsense tone with a subtle vintage print flavor. Its thick slabs and rounded shaping read as confident and hardworking, while the friendly proportions keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended as a solid, versatile slab serif for high-impact typography—built to hold up in large sizes, anchor layouts with a strong typographic voice, and deliver a familiar, workhorse character without relying on decorative quirks.
Spacing appears open enough to support large headlines and short text blocks without clogging, though the weight and tight counters suggest it will feel strongest above body-text sizes. The overall texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, emphasizing impact and clarity.
