A heavy, square-shouldered slab serif with largely uniform stroke weight and flat, rectangular terminals. The letterforms are built from straight stems and broad curves with noticeably squared-off corners, producing a punched, machined look. Counters are compact and mostly rectangular-rounded, while joins are abrupt and crisp, keeping the rhythm tight and emphatic. Uppercase proportions are broad and stable, and the lowercase maintains a practical, no-nonsense silhouette with sturdy stems and short, assertive serifs.
Best suited to short to medium display settings where impact and clarity matter—headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for labels and UI headings when a robust, industrial voice is desired, but its dense weight favors larger sizes and generous spacing.
The overall tone is tough and workmanlike, with a vintage-industrial flavor that reads as confident and uncompromising. Its squared details and dense color evoke equipment labeling, athletic lettering, and classic American display typography.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a controlled, square-built structure—combining slab serif authority with streamlined, flat-ended detailing for a practical, high-impact display voice.
The texture in text is dark and even, with strong vertical emphasis and minimal stroke modulation. The squared rounding in curves (notably in bowls and numerals) gives it a distinctive engineered character that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
