A heavy, block-forward slab serif with compact proportions, broad counters, and a firmly grounded baseline. Serifs are thick and rectangular with a lightly bracketed transition into the stems, giving the shapes a carved, built-up feel rather than a sharp, hairline finish. Curves are robust and slightly squared in spirit, while joins stay tight and sturdy, producing an even, low-modulation texture. The overall rhythm is dense and emphatic, with strong verticals and substantial horizontals that hold up well at display sizes.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, titles, posters, and bold brand marks. It also performs well in signage and packaging where strong legibility and a solid, industrial presence are desired, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, evoking classic poster lettering, workwear signage, and old-school editorial headlines. Its weight and slab structure suggest reliability and assertiveness, with a nostalgic edge that reads as vintage without becoming delicate or ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through mass and simplified geometry, pairing slab serifs with compact, sturdy letterforms for confident display typography. It prioritizes a consistent, forceful texture that reads quickly and feels dependable in attention-grabbing applications.
Capitals present a stable, architectural silhouette, and the lowercase maintains a similarly hefty presence, keeping color consistent across mixed-case settings. Numerals are wide and weighty, designed to match the headline intensity rather than recede into text.
