A heavy, block-driven slab serif with squared terminals and sturdy, rectangular serifs that read as flat and assertive. Strokes stay broadly even, with tight joins and compact interior counters that emphasize density and weight. Curves are simplified into firm bowls and arches, while diagonals (as in N, V, W, X) remain strong and steady, keeping a consistent rhythm across the set. The lowercase follows a sturdy, workmanlike construction with short extenders and a solid, upright stance, matching the caps’ blunt geometry.
Best suited to display settings where weight and structure need to carry from a distance—headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short blocks of copy in editorial or packaging contexts when a strong, vintage-leaning slab voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, projecting strength, reliability, and a slightly retro, print-forward character. Its squared serifs and compact massing evoke traditional display typography often associated with signage, posters, and institutional or athletic branding.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a disciplined, squared slab-serif structure—prioritizing solidity, consistency, and high visibility in display typography.
At text sizes the dense counters and heavy color create a strong typographic “ink” presence, with clear, squared punctuation-like details in forms such as the i/j dots. The numerals and capitals are especially commanding, with a uniform, poster-ready silhouette that favors impact over delicacy.
