A heavy, blocky slab serif with squared proportions and softened corners. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as broad, rectangular feet with subtle bracketing and occasional notched joins that create an ink-trap-like bite in tight interior corners. Counters are relatively compact (notably in B, P, R, a, e), giving the face a dense, dark color, while spacing stays even enough to keep words cohesive. Numerals match the letterforms with wide, stout shapes and similarly chunky terminals.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of text where its dense weight and chunky slab details can carry impact. It works well for posters, signage, packaging, and logotype-style wordmarks, and can hold up in bold subheads where a sturdy, readable texture is needed.
The overall tone is robust and dependable with a warm, slightly nostalgic flavor. Its blunt geometry and bold presence feel assertive without becoming aggressive, leaning toward an approachable, workmanlike display voice that still carries a hint of vintage signage.
Likely designed to deliver a strong, high-impact slab serif voice that remains readable and consistent across mixed-case settings. The notched joins and softened corners suggest an intention to preserve clarity in heavy strokes while adding a subtle, crafted character for display use.
Capital forms are broad and stable, with strong horizontal tops and bottoms that emphasize a planted baseline. Lowercase echoes the same slab logic, producing a uniform rhythm in text lines, while the distinctive corner cut-ins add texture and prevent large black areas from feeling overly flat at larger sizes.
