A very heavy, bracketed slab serif with compact proportions, broad shoulders, and strongly squared terminals. Serifs read as blunt and sturdy, with subtle bracketing that softens the joins into stems. Curves are full and slightly squarish in places, and counters stay open enough to keep dense forms legible. The lowercase shows a single-storey a and g, a sturdy, slab-footed t, and a short, functional ear on r; numerals are wide and weighty with strong presence. Overall rhythm is tight and even, optimized for impact rather than delicacy.
Best suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where strong typographic weight is needed. It can also work for editorial decks, pull quotes, and short setting in print or on the web when a firm, slab-serif voice is desired. The robust forms and compact texture make it especially effective for logotypes and signage that must hold up at a distance.
The font conveys a confident, no-nonsense tone with an industrial and editorial edge. Its heavy slabs and compact massing suggest strength and reliability, while the slightly rounded bracketing keeps it from feeling overly harsh. The overall impression is bold, assertive, and a touch vintage—suited to statements that need to feel established and solid.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy slab-serif backbone, combining blunt terminals and bracketing for a durable, workmanlike feel. It prioritizes a strong typographic “stamp” and consistent dark color for display and attention-grabbing text, while preserving enough openness in counters to stay readable at moderately large sizes.
At display sizes the slab structure and broad joins create a dense color that reads well in headlines and short bursts of text. The ink-trap-like notches and generous joins help maintain clarity where strokes meet, especially in tight apertures and inside corners. Letterforms like Q and G emphasize the sturdy, engineered character through pronounced, angular details.
