A heavy, wide slab-serif with compact counters and pronounced bracketed slabs. Strokes show noticeable contrast for the weight, with thick verticals and slightly lighter connecting strokes, while terminals and joints feature distinctive cut-ins that read like ink-trap or stencil-inspired notches. The overall rhythm is dense and emphatic, with squared shoulders, strong horizontal feet, and a consistent, grounded baseline presence across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to display typography where impact and character are priorities: posters, headlines, labels, and signage. The strong slabs and compact interior spaces help it hold up in bold, short-form messaging, while the repeated cut-in detailing adds distinctive texture for branding and packaging.
The tone is bold and assertive, blending an industrial workwear feel with a vintage, woodtype-like flavor. The cut-in details add grit and character, giving the face a punchy, attention-grabbing voice that feels at home in signage and headline settings.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a memorable, engineered texture—combining classic slab-serif sturdiness with notched detailing that evokes print-era display faces and utilitarian lettering. Its wide proportions and heavy forms prioritize visibility and personality over quiet neutrality.
The notched detailing is especially apparent in round letters and at joins, creating a repeated motif that increases texture at larger sizes. Numerals are robust and display-friendly, matching the caps in weight and presence, while lowercase retains the same heavy, squared construction for consistent color in text blocks.
