A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions and a compact, squared-off construction. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and the slabs are flat and unbracketed, creating crisp, rectangular joins and terminals. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while curves (C, O, S) read as firm and slightly squared in their overall silhouette rather than delicate. The lowercase is straightforward and sturdy, with simple, vertical stress and robust entry/exit strokes; numerals are similarly hefty and evenly colored, producing a strong, stable text texture.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and display settings where its weight and slab structure can project authority and impact. It can also work for editorial pull quotes, branding, and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, vintage-leaning voice. In longer passages, it is most effective when given generous spacing and comfortable sizes to balance its strong color.
The overall tone is confident and no-nonsense, with a dependable, industrial warmth. Its chunky slabs and wide stance evoke classic editorial and poster typography, giving it a retro, “printed” feel that reads as strong without becoming ornamental.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver a bold, dependable presence with clear slab cues and a squared, machined finish. Its proportions and low-modulation strokes suggest an intention to maintain a consistent, forceful texture that stays legible and emphatic across large-format typography.
The design emphasizes a steady rhythm and dark typographic color, with prominent serifs that help anchor lines and maintain clarity at larger sizes. The forms favor clear, squared terminals and blunt edges, which reinforces an engineered, utilitarian character in both headlines and short blocks of copy.
