A heavyweight slab-serif with broad proportions and a distinctly squared construction. Strokes stay uniform with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as blunt, rectangular slabs with flat terminals throughout. Counters are roomy and open for the weight, with rounded inner shapes in letters like O/C counterbalancing the otherwise boxy silhouette. The lowercase shows single-story a and g, a sturdy, vertical rhythm, and short, pragmatic joins that keep the texture dense but steady. Numerals and capitals follow the same wide stance and straight-sided logic, producing a strong, even typographic color.
Best suited to display applications where a strong, blocky voice is desirable—headlines, posters, signage, packaging, and bold brand marks. It can work for short bursts of text such as pull quotes or titling, where its broad stance and heavy slabs remain clear and intentional.
The overall tone is assertive and utilitarian, with a retro-industrial confidence. Its broad, squared forms give it a sign-painting and athletic-institutional feel—bold, direct, and built for impact rather than delicacy.
The design appears aimed at delivering a robust, square-shouldered slab-serif look that maximizes presence on the page. Its consistent stroke weight, flat terminals, and wide proportions suggest an intention to feel sturdy and legible at large sizes, evoking industrial and athletic typographic traditions.
The wide set and large counters help prevent the weight from clogging at display sizes, while the flat slab endings add a structured, mechanical cadence across lines. In paragraphs, the dark color and strong horizontals create a commanding texture that benefits from generous spacing and larger sizes.
