A heavy, block-built slab serif with square-cut terminals and sturdy, rectangular serifs throughout. Strokes are broad and even, with tight internal counters and slightly condensed apertures that create a compact, forceful texture in text. Curves are simplified and strongly supported by straight segments, giving round letters a robust, squared-off feel. Lowercase shows a tall x-height and short extenders, keeping lines dense and highly legible at display sizes, while numerals match the same weight and blunt, architectural construction.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and signage where maximum presence is needed at a glance. It also works well for packaging, labels, and bold logotypes that benefit from a sturdy, no-nonsense voice and strong shapes that hold up in simple, high-contrast reproduction.
The overall tone is tough and unapologetic, projecting a utilitarian, workmanlike confidence. It evokes classic poster and signage lettering where clarity and impact outweigh delicacy, with a subtle retro/heritage flavor driven by its slab serifs and compact rhythm.
Likely designed to deliver high-impact readability with a rugged slab-serif voice, emphasizing blunt geometry, compact spacing, and a dense typographic color for attention-grabbing display use.
In the sample text, the thick joins and tight counters create a dark, consistent typographic color that reads best with generous tracking and leading. The squared serifs and blunt terminals maintain a strong baseline and cap-line presence, reinforcing a stable, grounded feel.
