A sturdy slab serif with compact proportions and a strong, even stroke weight. Serifs are heavy and bracketed, creating a blocky silhouette and a steady baseline rhythm. Curves are rounded but controlled, with blunt terminals and minimal modulation, giving letters a solid, press-like presence. Counters stay relatively tight and the overall spacing reads compact, favoring impact over airiness.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where a compact, high-ink footprint helps text hold its ground. It also works for short blocks of display copy and signage that benefits from a firm, traditional slab-serif voice.
The tone is pragmatic and assertive, with a faint old-style print and poster sensibility. Its chunky serifs and condensed stance convey reliability and a workmanlike confidence, leaning slightly vintage without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable display slab for attention-grabbing typography, balancing straightforward letterforms with heavy, bracketed serifs to maximize presence in tight widths.
In text, the dense color and short ascenders/descenders help lines stack tightly, producing a strong typographic texture. Numerals and capitals maintain the same sturdy construction, supporting consistent emphasis across headings and mixed-case settings.
