A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions and a compact, even rhythm. Strokes are thick and largely uniform, with prominent rectangular serifs that read as softened blocks rather than sharp wedges. Counters are generous for the weight, keeping forms like O, P, and a from clogging, while joins and terminals are subtly rounded to reduce harshness. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a sturdy, straight-sided m/n, and a short, weighty t; figures are equally robust with simple, open shapes.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text in bold applications where impact is needed, such as posters, signage, packaging, and brand marks. It can also work for emphasis in editorial layouts when paired with a lighter companion for body copy.
The tone is assertive and dependable, with a warm, slightly nostalgic voice that recalls utilitarian printing and poster vernacular. Its mass and softened corners make it feel approachable rather than severe, giving headlines a confident, upbeat presence.
This design appears intended as a straightforward, versatile slab-serif for bold communication—prioritizing strong silhouettes, stable reading flow, and clear letterforms that remain recognizable under heavy weight.
Spacing appears comfortable at display sizes, and the strong slab serifs create clear horizontal anchoring that helps words hold together in dense settings. The overall construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, emphasizing solidity and legibility over delicacy.
