A heavy, slab‑serif design with broad, square-cut serifs and firmly squared terminals throughout. Strokes are consistently thick with large counters and smooth, generous curves in round forms (O, C, G), creating a bold, even rhythm. Corners and joins tend to resolve into flat, rectilinear ends, while the overall proportions stay compact and stable, with minimal slant and a clear, upright stance. The lowercase is sturdy and simple, with single-story forms where visible (notably a), and numerals follow the same weighty, block-forward construction for strong figure presence.
Best suited for display use such as posters, headlines, logos, packaging, and signage where bold letterforms and strong serifs help maintain clarity at a distance. It can work for short subheads or pull quotes, but extended paragraphs may feel heavy due to the dense color.
The tone is assertive and grounded, leaning toward an industrial and slightly vintage poster feel. Its mass and square serifs convey dependability and authority, while the rounded bowls keep it approachable rather than harsh.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a classic slab-serif voice: sturdy letterforms, square terminals, and clear silhouettes that hold up in bold, attention-getting applications.
At text sizes it reads as dense and dark, with prominent serifs that create a strong horizontal texture. The bold punctuation and capitals dominate the line, making the face feel best when given room and used with moderate tracking in display settings.
