A heavy, block-structured slab serif with straight, square-cut terminals and broadly uniform stroke thickness. Serifs are robust and rectangular, giving the outlines a carved, poster-like solidity. Curves are simplified into rounded-rect forms (notably in C, G, O, and S), while joins and corners tend to stay crisp and orthogonal. Proportions are fairly compact with wide, open counters in letters like B, D, and P, and a sturdy, built-in feel to diagonals in V, W, and Y. Numerals follow the same squared geometry, reading clearly at display sizes with strong, consistent color across a line.
Best suited for display applications where impact and clarity are priorities—headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding signage, and bold brand marks. It can also work for short blocks of text or captions when a strong, industrial flavor is desired, though its heavy color will dominate at smaller sizes.
The overall tone is tough and no-nonsense, with a distinctly mechanical, workmanlike presence. Its chunky slabs and squared geometry evoke vintage signage and institutional lettering, lending a confident, slightly retro authority to headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum sturdiness and immediacy through broad strokes, squared terminals, and unapologetically strong slabs. It reads as a modernized take on classic slab-serif display lettering, optimized for bold statements and high-visibility typography.
The rhythm is dense and even, producing a dark, cohesive texture in paragraphs. The design favors emphatic shapes over delicate detail, with simplified forms and minimal modulation that keep letterforms stable under enlargement.
