A hefty slab-serif design with broad proportions, compact counters, and clearly bracketed slabs that keep the joins smooth rather than sharp. Strokes are dense and largely monolinear in feel, with a touch of contrast that shows up in curved joins and terminals. Curves are generous and slightly softened, while the serifs read as rectangular blocks with subtle shaping, giving the letterforms a strong, anchored stance. The lowercase is robust and round, with single-storey a and g, a broad bowl on p/q, and sturdy, blunt terminals throughout.
Well suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks where a bold, sturdy slab voice is needed. It also fits editorial display roles—section heads, pull quotes, and mastheads—where strong texture and confident emphasis are desirable.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a workmanlike practicality that leans vintage. It feels dependable and grounded, projecting a classic print-and-poster sensibility with an energetic, attention-grabbing presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a friendly, softened slab structure—balancing industrial strength with approachable curves for versatile display typography.
In the sample text, the dense color and tight interior spaces create strong impact at display sizes, while the pronounced slabs and wide silhouettes keep words visually stable. Numerals appear similarly weighty and rounded, matching the typeface’s poster-like rhythm.
