A sturdy slab-serif with heavy, squared serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The forms are broad and grounded, with blunt terminals, compact interior counters, and a consistent, workmanlike rhythm across caps and lowercase. Curves are rounded but kept tight, while joins and shoulders stay solid and slightly squared-off, producing a dense, ink-trap-free silhouette that reads clearly at display and text-like sizes.
Well-suited for headlines, packaging, and branding that needs a bold, durable voice, as well as posters and signage where strong letterforms help maintain clarity. It can also support short blocks of text when a dense, authoritative slab-serif texture is desired.
The overall tone feels utilitarian and dependable, with an industrial, print-era straightforwardness. Its weight and blunt detailing project confidence and practicality rather than delicacy, giving a subtle retro editorial or poster vibe without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a plainspoken slab-serif workhorse: strong serifs, low ornamentation, and broad proportions that prioritize impact, stability, and straightforward readability.
Numerals and uppercase carry a strong, sign-like presence due to the broad proportions and heavy slab feet. The lowercase keeps a compact, steady texture, with single-storey shapes (notably the ‘g’) reinforcing the practical, no-nonsense character.
