A heavy, block-built slab serif with broad proportions and squared-off detailing. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with flat, rectangular serifs and terminals that create a strong horizontal footprint. The letterforms favor simple geometry—round counters are generous, corners are crisp, and curves transition into straight segments with minimal finesse. Lowercase forms read sturdy and compact, with short extenders and large internal spaces that help maintain clarity at weight.
Best suited for display work where strong presence is the priority—posters, headlines, signage, packaging callouts, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short bursts of text such as titles, labels, and promotional copy where a bold, vintage-leaning voice is desired.
The overall tone feels confident and punchy, with a classic sign-painter and old-time display flavor. Its chunky slabs and blunt terminals give it a friendly toughness that reads as both nostalgic and attention-seeking. The texture is lively and emphatic, lending a slightly theatrical, headline-forward character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a straightforward, sturdy construction. Its slab-seriffed, square-shouldered shapes prioritize immediate recognition and a classic display sensibility over delicate detail, aiming for legibility and personality in large sizes.
The numerals are similarly weighty and open, designed to hold up in bold settings. Spacing appears built for impact: forms are wide enough to feel expansive, while the strong slabs create a consistent, rhythmic stripe across lines of text.
