A heavy, slab-serif display face with squared terminals and mostly unbracketed, rectangular serifs. Strokes show clear contrast: robust verticals paired with noticeably lighter horizontals and interior joins, producing a crisp, cut-in rhythm across words. Counters are generally open but compact, with round letters (O, C, G) drawn as bold ovals against flat serifed joins; several forms use firm, straight-sided geometry rather than soft modulation. Overall spacing and letterfit read solid and even, with the weight concentrated into vertical stems and slab ends for strong word shapes.
Best suited to large sizes where its slab terminals and contrast can register clearly—posters, headlines, signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short pull quotes or section titles where a strong, structured texture is desired, but its dense weight and internal contrast make it less ideal for extended small-size text.
The tone is assertive and workmanlike, mixing a vintage letterpress feel with a clean, engineered toughness. It reads confident and attention-grabbing, leaning toward classic Western/industrial poster lettering rather than delicate editorial refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a compact, sturdy slab framework and crisp internal contrast, evoking vintage printing and industrial signage while maintaining a clean, upright stance.
Distinctive slab presence in capitals is reinforced by a prominent crossbar treatment in several letters, while the lowercase maintains sturdy, readable silhouettes with minimal curvature at joins. Numerals are similarly weighty and straightforward, matching the headline-oriented texture of the alphabet.
