A heavy, slab-serif display face with substantial, mostly uniform stroke weight and broad proportions. Serifs read as thick, squared slabs with subtle bracketing, giving joins a slightly softened, carved feel rather than razor-sharp corners. Counters are fairly open for the weight, and curves are full and rounded, while terminals stay flat and emphatic. The lowercase is compact and sturdy, with short-to-moderate ascenders/descenders and a single-storey “a,” contributing to a straightforward, workmanlike rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a firm, attention-grabbing voice is needed. It can work well for packaging, signage, and editorial callouts, especially when set with comfortable tracking and ample line spacing to balance its dense typographic color.
The overall tone is strong and no-nonsense, with a warm, approachable ruggedness. It suggests a classic, print-forward sensibility—confident and a bit nostalgic—without feeling delicate or formal.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum presence with a dependable slab-serif structure—pairing big, confident shapes with pragmatic, legible forms for display typography that feels sturdy and familiar.
In the sample text, the dense weight and broad letterforms create a dark, assertive color that holds together well at headline sizes. The numerals and capitals appear particularly solid and sign-like, with minimal stroke modulation and clear, square-ended features that emphasize impact.
