A condensed, heavy display serif with blocky slab terminals and an overall octagonal/channeled construction. Strokes are largely uniform in weight, with sharp inside corners, squared shoulders, and clipped corners that create a faceted silhouette. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular, and the serifs read as sturdy, flat feet rather than delicate brackets. The rhythm is compact and vertical, with strong stem emphasis and minimal curvature, giving the alphabet a rigid, mechanical regularity.
Best suited to large sizes where its angular detailing and slab terminals can read clearly—headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, product packaging, and logo wordmarks. It can also work for short subheads or labels, but the dense counters and tight width make it less ideal for long body text.
The face conveys a classic poster and signage mood—confident, no-nonsense, and slightly nostalgic. Its squared slabs and faceted corners evoke old-time Americana and workwear labeling, while the tight proportions add urgency and punch.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, combining sturdy slab serifs with a faceted, square-shouldered skeleton for a bold, heritage display voice.
Round letters like O/C show distinct corner clipping that keeps the design consistently geometric, and diagonals (K, V, W, X) are built with straight, sturdy joins. Numerals follow the same condensed, hard-edged logic for a cohesive headline palette.
