A heavy slab serif with broad proportions, blunt terminals, and strongly bracketed slabs that read as carved blocks. Strokes are largely uniform, with subtle taper and shaping in curves, and counters that stay open despite the weight. The lowercase is sturdy and compact with a firm baseline and short, dense joins; the ear and terminals show squared-off, slightly notched details that add bite at text sizes. Overall spacing feels tight and rhythmic, emphasizing mass and impact rather than delicacy.
Best suited to large-scale typography where strong slabs and dense color are an advantage: headlines, posters, titles, logos, and packaging. It also works well for punchy callouts and signage where a bold, grounded voice is needed.
The tone is confident and forceful, combining a vintage poster feel with a practical, workmanlike sturdiness. Its chunky slabs and compact interior shapes evoke classic headlines, sports branding, and industrial signage—direct, emphatic, and a little rugged.
The design appears intended to maximize impact and legibility through hefty slabs, compact counters, and a steady rhythm, delivering a classic display look that remains structured and readable under heavy weight.
Round letters keep a slightly squarish silhouette, while the slabs create a consistent horizontal “platform” that strengthens line texture. Numerals match the letterforms in weight and presence, supporting bold, high-impact setting in display contexts.
