A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, square-cut serifs and predominantly flat terminals. Strokes are weighty and even, with compact counters and a slightly condensed, vertical rhythm that keeps words tight and forceful. Curves (C, G, O, S) are firm and controlled rather than soft, and joins stay clean without calligraphic swelling. The lowercase is robust with a straightforward, workmanlike construction, and the numerals match the same squared, emphatic finish.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and branding where strong typographic color and instant legibility are needed. It can also work for packaging or editorial section headers, especially when a classic slab-serif authority is desirable. For long text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes or with generous leading due to its dense, heavy forms.
The overall tone is utilitarian and authoritative, echoing wood-type and poster-era slab traditions. It feels direct and practical, with a no-nonsense presence that reads as classic, steady, and slightly industrial. The weight and blunt terminals give it a confident, attention-holding voice.
This design appears intended to deliver a classic slab-serif impact with squared-off, practical detailing—built to be readable, firm, and visually assertive in display settings. The consistent, blocky finishing suggests a focus on dependable reproduction across print applications.
Spacing appears balanced for display use, with strong color and minimal delicacy—details hold up well at large sizes and in short bursts. The consistent squared finishing across letters and figures gives headings a uniform, poster-like texture.
