A heavy slab serif with compact internal counters, strong vertical stress, and pronounced contrast between thick stems and thinner connecting strokes. The serifs are broad and mostly bracketed, creating sturdy, rectangular feet with a slightly softened, inked edge. Curves are generous and full, with rounded joins and occasional small notches/ink-trap-like cut-ins where strokes meet, giving the forms a carved, printed texture. Spacing reads intentionally tight and dense in text, emphasizing a dark, poster-like typographic color.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, posters, and display settings where strong typographic impact is needed. It can work for branding and packaging that want a heritage or industrial tone, and for editorial titling where a dense, authoritative texture is desirable.
The font conveys a bold, assured voice with a vintage print sensibility. Its chunky slabs and sculpted curves feel simultaneously editorial and workwear—suited to messages that want weight, presence, and a slightly nostalgic, craft-printed character.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a classic slab-serif structure, combining sturdy rectangular serifs with sculpted curves and contrast to evoke traditional print and bold editorial display typography.
Uppercase forms are broad and stable, while the lowercase shows sturdy, rounded shapes that keep the rhythm heavy and even. Numerals match the overall mass and contrast, reading best when set large where their shaped joints and slab details can be appreciated.
