A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions and strongly bracketed, block-like serifs. Strokes show noticeable contrast, with thick verticals and slightly lighter connecting strokes, creating a lively rhythm despite the mass. Corners are generally crisp, while joins and inner counters show subtle notches and cut-ins that suggest an ink-trap-like handling at tight spots. The lowercase is compact and sturdy with round, open bowls; numerals are chunky and highly legible, with the 0 and 8 especially wide and stable.
Best suited to display work where weight and presence are an advantage—headlines, posters, large-format signage, and packaging. It also fits branding systems that need a tough, heritage-leaning slab voice, such as sports identities, workwear labels, and bold editorial callouts.
The overall tone is bold, rugged, and slightly vintage, echoing industrial and old poster typography. It feels confident and utilitarian rather than delicate, with a faintly mechanical, workmanlike character that reads as direct and no-nonsense.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and readability with a classic slab-serif framework, balancing a solid, poster-ready silhouette with enough contrast and internal shaping to keep letterforms from clogging at larger text sizes.
In text, the strong slabs and deep color create pronounced texture and emphasis, with counters staying relatively open for a display face. The ampersand and punctuation match the same heavy, squared-off construction, keeping the voice consistent across mixed-case settings.
