A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad proportions and sturdy, rectangular terminals. The serifs are pronounced and mostly squared off, with subtle rounding that keeps corners from feeling overly sharp. Curves are generous and full, producing wide bowls and counters that stay readable even at large sizes. Overall stroke behavior is consistent and weighty, with only mild modulation where curves meet stems, creating a solid, poster-ready texture.
This font is well suited to headlines, posters, and display typography where impact and immediacy are needed. It also fits packaging and label systems that want a sturdy, heritage-leaning voice, as well as signage and sports or team-style branding where bold shapes must read quickly at a distance.
The tone is bold and self-assured, with a retro, workhorse character that feels simultaneously industrial and approachable. Its chunky slabs and softened geometry give it a friendly toughness—more playful than austere—while still projecting authority.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a classic slab-serif backbone, balancing rugged, rectangular structure with softened curves for a more inviting feel. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and legibility in large-format, attention-grabbing settings.
The rhythm is dense and even, creating strong horizontal emphasis in lines of text. Numerals and capitals share the same blocky, grounded presence, and the overall silhouette reads best when given room to breathe rather than being tightly tracked.
