A heavy, broad-shouldered serif with squared slab terminals and minimal stroke modulation. The forms are built from thick, even strokes with crisp, flat ends and largely unbracketed joins, producing a dense, high-ink silhouette. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while curves (C, O, S) read as rounded shapes contained within a strong rectangular rhythm. The lowercase shows single-storey a and g, sturdy verticals, and short, rectangular serifs that keep a consistent, engineered texture across words and lines.
Best suited to display settings where strong typographic impact is needed—headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold brand marks. It can also work on packaging and labels where a sturdy, traditional-meets-industrial voice is desired, especially at medium to large sizes.
The tone is forceful and workmanlike, with a straightforward, no-nonsense presence. Its broad proportions and chunky slabs evoke utilitarian printing and retro signage, giving text a confident, slightly nostalgic authority.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence and readability through thick strokes, broad proportions, and squared slab finishing. It prioritizes a stable, structured texture that holds up in attention-grabbing applications and conveys strength and practicality.
Spacing appears comfortable at display sizes, with a pronounced horizontal emphasis that makes headlines feel expansive. Numerals are bold and simple, matching the same square-ended treatment and maintaining a cohesive, poster-ready color.
