A wide, sturdy slab-serif with square, unbracketed terminals and an even, low-contrast stroke weight. The letterforms feel horizontally expanded with broad proportions, open counters, and a calm, consistent rhythm across lines. Serifs are blunt and rectangular, giving the outlines a machined, built-from-parts character rather than a calligraphic one. The lowercase shows a prominent x-height and simple, practical shapes, while the numerals are similarly wide with clear, straightforward construction.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where a solid slab-serif voice is needed and space allows for a wide set. It also works well for magazine-style display typography and pull quotes, where the even strokes and open shapes keep it legible while staying emphatic.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, with a slightly retro, industrial flavor. Its broad stance and blunt slabs read as no-nonsense and dependable, lending a strong editorial presence without feeling ornate or delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, practical slab-serif for display and editorial use, prioritizing blunt, square structure and wide proportions for immediate impact and clarity. Its consistent strokes and unbracketed slabs suggest a focus on sturdiness and a contemporary take on classic industrial typography.
At text sizes the wide set and pronounced slabs create a bold texture on the page; careful tracking and line length will help maintain comfortable reading flow. The design’s squareness and uniformity make it especially visually consistent in headings and short blocks of copy.
