A heavy, blocky slab serif with broad proportions and solid, even strokes. The serifs are pronounced and mostly rectangular with softened corners and slight bracketing that keeps joins from feeling harsh. Counters are fairly open for the weight, and many forms lean toward squarish geometry (notably in the bowls and rounds), creating a compact, sturdy rhythm in text. The lowercase is straightforward and readable, with single-storey forms where expected and simple terminals that maintain a consistent, industrial build.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and short blocks of copy where a strong, grounded presence is needed. It also fits packaging, labels, and signage applications that benefit from sturdy letterforms and clear, high-impact shapes.
The overall tone is robust and dependable, with a friendly warmth coming from rounded corners and generous, sturdy shapes. It evokes mid-century utility and signage—confident, practical, and a bit nostalgic—without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable, high-impact slab serif that delivers strong presence and legibility across display and bold editorial use. Its softened slab details suggest a balance between industrial sturdiness and approachable readability.
At larger sizes the weight and slab detailing read as bold and attention-grabbing, while at text sizes the consistent stroke treatment and open apertures help maintain clarity. The numerals match the same chunky, square-shouldered construction, supporting cohesive typographic color in mixed text.
