A heavy slab serif with broad proportions and strongly reinforced verticals. Strokes are mostly uniform with only modest contrast, and the terminals end in blunt, rectangular slabs that read clearly at display sizes. Counters are generous but tightly controlled, producing a compact, punchy rhythm, while curves (C, O, S) stay round and full without becoming soft. The overall build feels engineered and consistent, with simple, no-nonsense joins and sturdy serifs that anchor each letterform.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and packaging where strong presence and quick recognition are needed. It also works well for branding systems that want a dependable, industrial-leaning slab voice, and for editorial display typography such as section headers, pull quotes, and short subheads.
The font projects solidity and practicality with a warm, approachable edge. Its bold slabs and wide stance give it a vintage, poster-like authority while still feeling straightforward and workmanlike rather than ornate.
The design appears intended as a dependable, high-impact slab serif that stays legible and stable under heavy weight. It prioritizes clear silhouettes, strong baselines, and consistent construction for confident display typography.
Uppercase forms look particularly emphatic and sign-like, while the lowercase keeps a sturdy, readable silhouette in text lines. Numerals follow the same blocky, grounded construction, maintaining visual weight and presence across mixed settings.
