A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, squared serifs and slightly bracketed joins that soften the transitions into the stems. Strokes are generally thick with noticeable but controlled contrast, and the counters are compact, giving the letters a dense, ink-trap-free, poster-friendly color. The uppercase set feels broad and planted, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian rhythm with round bowls and firm terminals. Overall spacing reads even and deliberate, with a strong horizontal emphasis from the serifs and crossbars.
It performs best in headlines, labels, and identity work where a strong typographic voice is needed. The dense color and slab structure suit posters, packaging, and signage, and it can also work for short editorial callouts or pull quotes where weight and presence are desirable.
The font projects a confident, workmanlike tone—pragmatic, no-nonsense, and a bit vintage. It evokes industrial signage and classic print ephemera, balancing authority with an approachable, familiar solidity.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif impact with high sturdiness and clear, print-oriented forms. Its proportions and firm serifs suggest a focus on dependable readability and a vintage-industrial character for display-forward typography.
The figures are heavy and highly legible at display sizes, matching the letterforms’ squared geometry and sturdy baseline presence. Punctuation and special characters shown in the sample keep the same robust, block-built feel, supporting emphatic headlines and short bursts of text.
