A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad verticals, compact bowls, and crisp, squared terminals. Serifs read as strong slabs with subtle bracketing, giving joins a slightly softened, machined feel rather than razor-sharp geometry. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be small, producing a dense, poster-like texture in words. Curves are simplified and weight distribution stays consistent, with a few tight interior notches at joins that help keep shapes open at this extreme weight.
Best suited to headlines and short blocks of copy where weight and solidity are an advantage—posters, packaging, labels, and bold editorial titles. It can also work well for sports or institutional branding applications that want a grounded, authoritative feel, especially at medium-to-large sizes where tight counters remain clear.
The overall tone is stout and confident, with a workhorse, no-nonsense presence that leans toward classic display typography. Its mass and squared detailing suggest a traditional, sturdy voice suited to emphatic messaging rather than delicate nuance.
The design intent appears to prioritize maximum impact and durability: a dense slab-serif voice with squared finishing and compact internal space, built to hold up in bold display settings and deliver an emphatic, traditional character.
Uppercase forms appear particularly compact and uniform, while the lowercase maintains a strong, chunky rhythm that emphasizes horizontal slabs and robust stems. Numerals share the same heavy footprint and read well at larger sizes, reinforcing the font’s signage-like impact.
