A compact slab-serif with heavy, blocklike letterforms and stout rectangular serifs. The design favors squared curves and flattened terminals, with tight internal counters that intensify the dark texture. Strokes read largely even in weight, while subtle shaping and the slab junctions add a restrained sense of modulation. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and short extenders, producing a dense, billboard-ready rhythm, and the figures follow the same chunky, squared construction for consistent color.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short emphatic statements where a dense, powerful texture is an asset. It also fits signage, labels, and packaging that benefit from a sturdy, traditional slab presence, as well as sports or industrial branding where bold, compact letterforms read as confident and durable.
The overall tone is forceful and workmanlike, balancing a vintage, poster-era solidity with a no-nonsense practicality. Its heavy slabs and compressed proportions suggest an industrial, sports, and display-forward attitude rather than a delicate or literary one.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact in limited horizontal space, using heavy slabs and simplified geometry to keep forms stable and highly visible. Its tall lowercase and consistent, chunky construction suggest a display-first serif meant to project strength and clarity across a range of short-form applications.
At text sizes the tight counters and strong horizontal slabs create a pronounced, high-impact word shape, making spacing and line breaks feel compact and deliberate. The punctuation and numerals match the same robust, squared vocabulary, helping mixed-content settings stay visually uniform.
