A heavy slab serif with broad, steady proportions and visibly bracketed rectangular serifs. Strokes are robust with moderate contrast and softened joins that keep the texture from feeling mechanical. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while terminals and serifs form firm horizontal blocks that create a strong baseline and capline rhythm. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with a double-storey g and a single-storey a, and the figures are wide, rounded, and highly graphic.
Best suited to display settings where weight and personality are assets—posters, headlines, logotypes, and bold packaging. It can also work for short, high-impact text in signage and labels, where its slabs and open counters help retain clarity at larger sizes.
The overall tone feels bold and workmanlike with a nostalgic, Americana-leaning flavor. Its thick slabs and softened curves give it a friendly, confident presence that reads as classic poster and storefront lettering rather than formal editorial typography.
Likely drawn to deliver a bold, approachable slab-serif voice with a vintage, poster-ready silhouette. The softened bracketing and generous widths suggest an intention to balance impact with warmth and legibility in big, attention-focused typography.
The design’s emphasis on horizontal slabs and broad bowls produces a dark, even color in text, especially at larger sizes. The numeral set is particularly attention-grabbing, with wide forms and smooth curves that complement the chunky serifs.
