A compact, heavy-text serif with pronounced slab serifs and mostly flat, square-ended terminals. Strokes are thick and even with minimal modulation, producing a sturdy, poster-like color on the page. The proportions are relatively condensed, with tight counters and strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike structure and a steady rhythm in text.
Best suited to display settings where impact and clarity matter: headlines, posters, labels, and branding marks that benefit from a rugged slab-serif voice. It can work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes) when a dense, sturdy texture is desired.
The overall tone feels rugged and assertive, evoking classic wood-type and utilitarian signage. Its chunky slabs and compact stance suggest a no-nonsense, heritage-leaning character with a distinctly display-forward presence.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence in a compact width, using heavy slabs and flat terminals to create a strong, industrial-meets-vintage texture that reads confidently at display sizes.
At larger sizes the square terminals and heavy joins become a defining texture, giving lines a crisp, stamped look. The numerals match the same weight and compactness, reinforcing a consistent, forceful voice across alphanumerics.
