A heavy, slab-serif display face with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes show noticeable modulation, with thick stems and robust, block-like serifs that read as slightly bracketed and squared off. Terminals are blunt and confident, and several joins show subtle notching/ink-trap-like openings that help preserve counters at bold sizes. Curves are full and round (notably in C, O, S), while diagonals in letters like V, W, and Y remain weighty and stable, producing a dense, even color in text.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where weight and presence are the priority: posters, signage, labels, packaging, and brand marks. Its sturdy slabs and dense texture also work well for editorial display or pull quotes when a retro, impactful voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and assertive, with a distinctly vintage, headline-oriented character. It suggests classic print vernacular—part Western/industrial poster energy—while staying clean and readable rather than ornate.
Designed to deliver maximum visual authority with a traditional slab-serif structure, balancing bold mass with enough stroke modulation and counter-shaping to keep letters readable at display sizes.
Spacing appears generous for a display cut, and the strong serifs create a clear horizontal rhythm across lines. Numerals are similarly massive and attention-grabbing, with simplified shapes intended to stay legible in large settings.
