A compact slab-serif with heavy, even-weight strokes and broad, square-ended serifs that read as firm horizontal “steps” at terminals. The design keeps straight stems and largely squared curves, producing a blocky silhouette with tight counters and crisp interior corners. Lowercase forms are upright and sturdy, with short-to-moderate ascenders and descenders and a pragmatic, workmanlike rhythm; the dots and punctuation are simple and geometric. Numerals follow the same sturdy construction, with rectangular shaping and stable vertical stress.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, display typography, posters, labels, and storefront-style signage. It can also work for sports or team-style branding and editorial callouts where a dense, authoritative texture is desired.
The overall tone is tough and no-nonsense, evoking industrial signage and vintage poster lettering. Its dense, squared shapes suggest strength and utility, while the slab details add a subtly classic, old-press flavor that can also lean western or collegiate depending on context.
Likely designed to deliver maximum presence in limited horizontal space, combining sturdy slab terminals with squared geometry for a clear, emphatic display voice.
The heavy weight and compact proportions create strong word shapes and clear vertical rhythm, but the tight counters and squared curves make it best when given breathing room in tracking and line spacing, especially in longer text.
