A heavy, slab-serif design with broad, bracketed serifs and generally low stroke contrast. The letterforms are compact and blocky, with squared terminals that soften slightly at corners, creating a dense, even texture in lines of text. Counters are moderate and squarish, while joins and inside corners suggest small inky notches that help keep shapes open at size. Uppercase forms read robust and steady, and the lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian structure with short ascenders/descenders and a solid, consistent rhythm. Numerals are sturdy and legible with simple geometry and strong footing.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and brand marks where a sturdy slab-serif voice is needed. It can also work for labels, packaging, and signage that benefit from high-impact letterforms and a solid, print-forward texture.
The overall tone is tough and dependable, with a faint vintage/print flavor reminiscent of newspaper headlines, posters, and workwear branding. It feels no-nonsense and confident, prioritizing clarity and impact over delicacy.
The design appears intended as a workhorse slab that delivers strong presence and dependable readability, combining traditional slab-serif construction with slightly softened corners for a friendlier, more printable feel.
The bold slabs and compact proportions create strong word shapes and a pronounced baseline, making the font feel anchored and authoritative. Spacing appears designed for a firm, even color, favoring clarity in short-to-medium runs of text and especially in emphatic settings.
