A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions, compact counters, and emphatic rectangular serifs that read largely unbracketed. Strokes are thick and steady, with clear vertical stress and a slightly compressed interior rhythm that gives letters a dense, authoritative footprint. Round forms (C, O, G) are robust and near-circular but visually tightened by the weight, while joins and terminals stay crisp and squared. Numerals are sturdy and display-oriented, with a strong baseline presence and blunt, structural endings.
Best suited to display typography where strong presence is needed: headlines, posters, packaging, and brand marks that benefit from a sturdy slab-serif voice. It can also work for signage and short editorial callouts where the dense, high-impact texture enhances emphasis.
The overall tone is forceful and no-nonsense, with a classic, workmanlike energy that feels at home in headlines and signage. Its blocky slabs and generous width convey stability and confidence, leaning toward a vintage editorial or industrial poster sensibility rather than delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum punch with a structured, square-terminal slab-serif build—prioritizing clarity, durability, and a bold editorial character. It balances traditional slab cues with simplified, blocky finishing to stay direct and highly legible at display sizes.
In the text sample, the heavy weight and tight internal spacing create a dark color on the page, emphasizing impact over airiness. The forms maintain clear differentiation at larger sizes, while the dense counters suggest it will feel most comfortable when given a bit of breathing room in tracking or line spacing for longer settings.
