A heavy, block-forward slab serif with squared-off, unbracketed serifs and largely uniform stroke thickness. The design emphasizes broad, stable shapes and generous weight, with compact interior counters that stay open but feel dense at text sizes. Curves are rounded yet contained within sturdy geometry (notably in O/C/G and the lowercase bowls), while joins and terminals resolve into crisp, flat ends. The lowercase is robust and workmanlike, with a straightforward, upright rhythm and strong baseline presence; numerals match the same chunky, rectangular construction.
Best suited to large sizes where its chunky slabs and compact counters read as intentional graphic features—headlines, posters, brand marks, packaging panels, and attention-grabbing signage. It can work for short blocks of text when a dense, assertive texture is desired, but it is most effective as a display face.
The overall tone is bold and self-assured, evoking a retro, poster-era sturdiness. Its chunky slabs and compact apertures give it a dependable, no-nonsense feel, while the rounded bowls keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy, square-slab voice—prioritizing clarity, presence, and a vintage-inflected display texture over refinement. It’s built to hold its shape in bold applications and to communicate confidence through strong, flat terminals and tightly controlled curves.
The weight distribution and square terminals create strong horizontal emphasis, helping headings feel planted and authoritative. Spacing appears tuned for impact more than delicacy, producing a dense, emphatic texture in paragraphs and display lines.
