A heavy slab-serif design with broad proportions, large internal shapes, and squared-off terminals that read as robust and compact. The serifs are blocky and strongly integrated into the stems, creating a continuous, poster-ready silhouette. Curves are generous and rounded, while joins and corners stay blunt and structural, producing a dense, steady rhythm in text.
Best suited for headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where a strong, grounded slab-serif voice is desired. It also works well for short blocks of text such as pull quotes, labels, menus, and editorial titling where dense, high-presence typography is an asset.
This typeface projects a confident, emphatic voice with a sturdy, no-nonsense tone. Its heavy presence and chunky detailing give it a retro, workmanlike energy that can feel both friendly and authoritative, depending on setting and spacing.
The design appears intended to maximize visual impact at display sizes while keeping letterforms familiar and stable. Its strong slabs and broad structure suggest a focus on durable, sign-like readability and a distinctive, vintage-leaning texture.
The numerals are especially weighty and attention-grabbing, matching the letterforms’ blocky construction. In the text sample, the overall color is dark and even, with a tight, compact feel that benefits from generous leading or tracking when used in longer lines.
