A heavy, right-leaning slab serif with blocky, square-ended serifs and generally low stroke modulation. The letterforms feel compact and sturdy, with wide, flat terminals and minimal bracketing that create a crisp, engineered silhouette. Curves (as in C, G, O, S) are rounded but kept tight, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) emphasize a firm, poster-friendly rhythm. Numerals are similarly weighty and simplified, matching the squared-off finishing of the alphabet for a consistent, high-impact texture.
Best suited to display roles such as headlines, posters, title treatments, and branding where strong presence and quick recognition matter. It can work well on packaging and promotional materials that benefit from a compact, forceful texture and a slightly retro industrial tone.
The overall tone reads confident and punchy, with a vintage-meets-industrial flavor. Its slanted stance and heavy slabs add momentum and urgency, suggesting headlines, sports energy, and bold editorial emphasis rather than quiet, neutral reading.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact through heavy slabs, squared terminals, and an energetic italic posture, balancing rugged clarity with a streamlined, modernized vintage feel. It aims to stay legible at a glance while providing a distinctive, muscular voice for emphasis-driven typography.
The italic construction appears more like a true italic than a simple oblique, with noticeable reshaping in several lowercase forms and a strong forward drive. Spacing in the samples produces a dense, dark typographic color that rewards larger sizes and short lines where the chunky serifs can be appreciated.
