A heavy slab-serif design with thick, blunt serifs and square-cut terminals that give the letters a solid, built-up silhouette. Strokes are broadly even in weight with noticeable, slightly squared joins and minimal curvature, producing compact interior counters and a dense texture in text. Uppercase forms feel broad and stable, while lowercase shapes are sturdy and simple, with a single-storey “g” and pronounced slabs on stems and feet. Numerals match the overall mass and geometry, reading clearly with strong, uniform presence.
Best suited for headlines, posters, labels, and branding applications where a strong, grounded voice is needed. It also works well for packaging and signage that benefits from bold letterforms and a clear, sturdy silhouette, particularly at display sizes.
The overall tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with an industrial and slightly vintage flavor. Its dense rhythm and blocky slabs suggest strength, reliability, and an editorial punch that feels at home in bold, attention-forward settings.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a robust slab-serif structure and simplified, square-ended detailing. The intent appears to prioritize strong presence and legibility at display sizes, creating a dependable, workmanlike tone with a classic editorial edge.
In continuous text the heavy serifs and tight counters create a dark color, making it better suited to larger sizes or shorter runs where weight and impact are desired. The square terminals and blunt serifs maintain a consistent, mechanical rhythm across letters and figures.
