A heavy, sturdy slab serif with broad proportions and a compact, muscular rhythm. Strokes are low-contrast with firm, rectangular serifs that read as square-ended and strongly bracketed in places, producing a pronounced, poster-like silhouette. Counters are relatively tight, joins are robust, and curves (C, G, O, S) are full but kept controlled against the generally straight, architectural structure. Numerals are similarly weighty and built for presence, with clear, chunky forms that hold up at large sizes.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, packaging, and branding where strong typographic presence is needed. It can also work for editorial display and section heads, especially when a sturdy, traditional-meets-industrial slab serif voice is desired.
The tone is confident and no-nonsense, combining an industrial toughness with a slightly collegiate, headline-forward feel. Its mass and squared detailing project authority and impact rather than delicacy, giving text a bold, assertive voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact slab serif with wide, stable proportions and square, emphatic finishing, optimized for attention-grabbing display use while maintaining clear letterforms.
In longer settings the dense color and short, emphatic serifs create a strong horizontal cadence; spacing appears tuned for display where the blocky shapes can breathe. The overall impression stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, favoring solidity and readability over refinement.
