A robust slab-serif with broad proportions and clear, squared-off serifs that read strongly at display sizes. Strokes are fairly even with moderate contrast, producing a dark, confident color on the page. The forms are upright and structured, with firm horizontals, slightly rounded joins in places, and compact counters that reinforce a solid, workmanlike texture in both caps and lowercase.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where a durable, classic slab voice is helpful. It also works for editorial pull quotes, book jackets, and branding that wants a grounded, no-nonsense tone. In longer text, it will read best with generous leading and spacing due to its dark color and compact interior spaces.
This typeface conveys a steady, practical tone with a hint of vintage industrial character. Its sturdy slabs and compact details feel dependable and matter‑of‑fact, lending an editorial seriousness without becoming delicate or ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver strong presence and consistent readability through bold slab serifs and firm, uncomplicated letterforms. Its wide stance and dense texture suggest a focus on clear emphasis and a stable typographic rhythm across headings and short passages.
The numerals are bold and highly legible, matching the capitals in weight and presence. Overall spacing and proportions create a strong horizontal rhythm, with serifs and terminals providing a consistent, squared punctuation to the silhouette.
