A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions and firm, squared-off construction. Strokes stay mostly even in thickness, with pronounced slab serifs and subtly bracketed joins that keep corners from feeling brittle. Many terminals show flat cuts and small notches, giving the outlines a slightly worn, stamped look. Counters are relatively open and the rhythm is steady, producing a strong, poster-friendly texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and packaging where its chunky slabs and rugged detailing can be appreciated. It also works well for signage and logotypes that need a confident, heritage-leaning presence, and for short text blocks where a bold, industrial texture is desired.
The face projects a rugged, workmanlike tone—part vintage letterpress, part industrial signage. Its slightly distressed, chiseled edges add grit and character without tipping into full decorative novelty, making it feel assertive and pragmatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong slab-serif voice with a tactile, slightly weathered finish—evoking printed ephemera or painted signage while preserving clear, straightforward letterforms.
In text, the dense slabs and squared detailing create a dark, emphatic color, especially in uppercase. The numerals and caps read like display-centric forms with compact interior shapes and assertive terminals, favoring impact over delicacy at smaller sizes.
