A compact, heavy slab-serif with squared, chamfered curves and a strongly rectilinear build. Strokes are thick and steady, with minimal modulation, and terminals end in firm, rectangular slabs that keep a consistent rhythm across the alphabet. Counters are tight and largely squared-off, and many joins show small notch-like cut-ins that read as ink-trap-like detailing, reinforcing the engineered, stamped look. Overall spacing and proportions feel condensed and vertical, producing dense, high-impact word shapes in both caps and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings where a compact, high-ink silhouette is an advantage: posters, headlines, storefront-style signage, packaging labels, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short, punchy UI labels or badges when strong presence and compact width are needed.
The tone is bold and workmanlike, evoking heritage poster lettering and utilitarian signage. Its squared edges and chunky slabs suggest a no-nonsense, frontier-meets-factory attitude that reads as confident, tough, and a bit nostalgic.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in a condensed footprint, using bold slabs and chamfered geometry to echo traditional wood-type and industrial stencil-like cues while remaining clean and highly uniform.
The font’s angular rounding and repeated internal notches create a distinctive texture at display sizes, while the tight counters and dense color can become visually heavy in longer passages. Numerals and capitals share the same sturdy, block-structured logic, helping headlines and labels look cohesive.
