A heavy, slab-serif design with broad proportions and firmly planted, bracketed serifs. Strokes are thick and even, with rounded corners and soft transitions that keep the letterforms from feeling harsh despite their weight. The bowls and counters are relatively compact, and several joins show small notches/ink-trap-like cut-ins that add texture and improve clarity at tight sizes. Overall spacing reads open and steady, producing an even, blocky rhythm across lines.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where a strong typographic voice is needed—posters, signage, labels, and packaging. It can also support brand systems that want a dependable slab-serif anchor, especially when paired with a lighter companion for body text.
The tone is sturdy and approachable, mixing a utilitarian, workmanlike presence with a slightly retro, print-forward warmth. Its chunky slabs and softened details evoke classic display typography used for bold headlines, posters, and packaging where impact and friendliness need to coexist.
The design appears intended as a straightforward, high-impact slab serif: bold enough for display, restrained enough to function as a general-purpose workhorse. Its rounded finishing and small notch details suggest an emphasis on readability and ink-friendly shapes in heavy settings.
Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent, poster-ready heft, while lowercase forms stay simple and legible with minimal calligraphic influence. The silhouette remains highly uniform across the alphabet, emphasizing solidity over delicacy and giving the text a strong, unmistakable color.
