A sturdy slab-serif with thick strokes, broad proportions, and prominent, mostly squared serifs softened by subtle bracketing. Curves are full and weighty (notably in O/C/G), while joins and terminals stay crisp and controlled, giving an even, high-ink texture. Uppercase forms are assertive and relatively wide, and the lowercase shows traditional, readable shapes with a two-storey a and a compact, solid rhythm. Numerals match the heavy color and feel stable and display-oriented, with clear, simple silhouettes.
Well-suited for headlines, posters, and branding where bold, high-contrast word shapes need to land quickly. It also fits packaging and signage that benefits from a sturdy, traditional slab-serif feel, and can work for short editorial callouts or subheads where texture and authority are desired.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, with a classic print-and-poster presence. Its hefty slabs and wide stance suggest an industrial and slightly retro voice that reads as authoritative and dependable rather than delicate or ornamental.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a classic slab-serif structure: wide, sturdy letterforms, strong serifs, and a consistent, ink-rich color for confident display typography.
Spacing and internal counters appear intentionally tight for density and impact, producing strong word shapes in headlines. The design leans on consistent vertical stress and sturdy serifs to hold up at large sizes, while still maintaining recognizable text forms for short passages.
