A heavy, block-constructed slab serif with squared geometry and soft, rounded outer corners. Strokes are uniformly thick with minimal modulation, and terminals resolve into flat, rectangular slabs that meet stems cleanly. Counters are tight and mostly rectangular, with generous ink coverage that creates a compact, powerful texture; bowls and curves are subtly squarish rather than fully round. The lowercase is sturdy and somewhat compressed, and the numerals follow the same chunky, squared rhythm for consistent color across lines.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and identity work where impact and solidity are priorities. It can also work for short bursts of copy (labels, packaging callouts, UI headings) when set with comfortable tracking and line spacing to prevent the heavy forms from feeling cramped.
The overall tone is tough and utilitarian, with a vintage, workmanlike flavor that reads as confident and no-nonsense. Its dense silhouettes and squared details evoke athletic and industrial signage aesthetics, leaning bold and attention-grabbing rather than delicate or editorial.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a rugged slab-serif voice: thick, square-joined serifs, compact counters, and squarish curves that hold up in bold display settings. It prioritizes strong silhouette and consistent typographic color over fine detail.
In text, the dense weight and compact apertures can close up at smaller sizes, while larger sizes emphasize the distinctive squared curves and slab terminals. The design maintains strong consistency across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a solid, poster-like typographic block.
