A heavy display slab with pronounced bracketed serifs and strong vertical stress. The letterforms are broad and tightly built, with compact counters and crisp interior corners that create an ink-trap-like bite where strokes meet. Stems read as rectangular and muscular while curves are full and controlled, producing a steady, confident rhythm. Terminals and serifs are substantial and squared, giving the face a carved, poster-ready solidity across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where weight and structure can do the work—posters, editorial openers, packaging, and bold brand statements. It also performs well for labels, signage, and typographic compositions that benefit from strong slab anchoring and high-impact silhouettes.
The overall tone is bold and declarative, with an industrial, workmanlike feel. Its sturdy slabs and tight apertures add a slightly vintage, print-oriented character that reads as confident and no-nonsense rather than delicate or airy.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a classic slab foundation: wide, sturdy proportions, emphatic serifs, and crisp internal shaping for punchy readability in display settings. It balances traditional slab cues with sharpened joins and compact counters to keep large text lively and assertive.
Lowercase forms lean toward sturdy, serifed constructions (notably in a, g, and y), keeping texture dense in paragraphs at large sizes. Numerals are similarly weighty and compact, matching the caps’ presence and making the set feel cohesive for headline-driven layouts.
