A heavy slab serif with compact proportions and pronounced, blocky serifs. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with subtle modulation and softened corners that round off the otherwise rectangular construction. Counters are small and squared, giving the letters a dense, poster-ready color. The overall rhythm is steady and upright, with sturdy stems and broad terminals that keep shapes legible at display sizes while staying tightly packed in text lines.
This font is well suited to posters, headlines, signage, and packaging where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It can also work for sports or event branding and short callouts, especially when set with generous tracking and line spacing to maintain clarity in longer passages.
The tone reads bold and approachable, with a nostalgic, old-style poster feel. Its chunky slabs and rounded edges evoke vintage signage and playful toughness rather than refinement, making it feel energetic and attention-getting.
The design appears intended as a robust, highly readable display slab that channels vintage poster and sign lettering through simplified, softened geometry. It prioritizes impact and consistency across caps, lowercase, and numerals for confident, attention-forward typography.
In the sample text, the dense letterfit and heavy ink coverage create strong impact, while the squared apertures and compact counters can begin to close up as sizes get smaller. Numerals match the same chunky, slabbed construction, reinforcing a consistent, headline-oriented personality.
