A heavy slab serif with strong, rectangular serifs and subtly rounded joins that keep the forms from feeling brittle. Strokes are robust and mostly even, with just enough modulation to give the counters and curves a carved, print-like presence. Uppercase letters are broad and stable with squarish shoulders and restrained apertures, while the lowercase keeps a compact, workmanlike rhythm with prominent feet and terminals. Numerals are large and weighty, matching the letters in color and density for tight, impactful setting.
Best suited to display use such as headlines, poster typography, identity wordmarks, packaging, and signage where weight and presence are priorities. It can also work for short editorial elements like section openers or pull quotes when a sturdy, print-forward slab character is desired.
The overall tone is assertive and dependable, evoking utilitarian signage and classic print headlines. Its chunky slabs and compact counters deliver a no-nonsense voice that feels slightly vintage without becoming decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact and clarity through thick slabs, broad proportions, and a steady rhythm, aiming for a practical, attention-grabbing slab serif suitable for bold messaging.
The design maintains a consistent dark typographic color and strong horizontal emphasis through its slab terminals, which helps it hold together in short, emphatic lines. Curves stay controlled and somewhat squared-off, lending a mechanical regularity that reads well at larger sizes.
