A heavy, slab-serif display face with uniform stroke weight and square-cut terminals. The letterforms are built from broad verticals and horizontals with blunt, rectangular serifs, producing a strong, poster-like silhouette. Curved characters (C, G, O, Q, S) stay fairly boxy with tightened bowls and generous counters, while junctions and corners read crisp rather than tapered. The lowercase follows the same sturdy construction, with single-storey forms and simple, robust shapes that keep spacing and rhythm consistent across the set.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where a bold, sturdy voice is needed. It also works well for signage-style settings and short editorial callouts, especially when you want a compact, industrial texture that remains clear at a glance.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and industrial, with a no-nonsense, mechanical confidence. Its chunky slabs and squared geometry evoke a retro, print-and-typewriter-adjacent mood while still reading as bold and modern in impact. The texture on the page is dense and emphatic, leaning more toward authority than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through blunt slabs, squared terminals, and consistent, engineered proportions. It prioritizes a strong graphic presence and an even, mechanical rhythm over refinement or calligraphic nuance.
At text sizes the weight creates a strong, dark typographic color, making short lines and headings especially forceful. Numerals are similarly blunt and wide, matching the blocky serif logic for a cohesive, engineered look.
