A heavy, monoline slab serif with squared-off terminals and compact, slightly condensed counters. The serifs read as bold, blocky slabs with subtle bracketing and small notches at joins that create an ink-trap-like bite, especially visible in diagonals and interior corners. Round letters (O, C, G) keep a broadly circular silhouette but are tightened by the weight, while straight-sided forms (E, F, H, N) emphasize verticality and a sturdy rhythm. Numerals are robust and squat, with clear, simplified forms designed to hold up at impact sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, labels, and signage where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable. It can also work for short subheads or callouts in branding and packaging that aims for an industrial, heritage, or collegiate atmosphere.
The overall tone is tough and workmanlike, with a vintage, utilitarian flavor reminiscent of printed ephemera and sturdy signage. Its chunky slabs and tight apertures project confidence and a slightly rugged, no-nonsense personality rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum solidity and legibility at display sizes through thick slab serifs, simplified shapes, and a compact interior structure. The small corner cut-ins and squared terminals add a print-forward, vintage edge while maintaining a consistent, durable rhythm across the alphabet and numerals.
In text, the dark color and tight internal space create strong texture and presence, making spacing and word shapes feel compact and deliberate. The consistent stroke weight and crisp terminals keep the design punchy, while the corner notches add character that prevents the face from feeling purely geometric.
