A heavy slab serif with broad proportions and strong, squared serifs that read as sturdy and grounded. Strokes show noticeable contrast for the weight, with thick verticals and comparatively thinner joins and curves, giving counters a slightly sculpted look. Serifs are bold and mostly square, often with a subtle bracket or flare at the join, and terminals tend to feel cut and decisive. The design maintains clear, open counters and a straightforward rhythm in text, with mild curvature and occasional notch-like shaping in joins that adds texture without breaking legibility.
Best suited for headlines and short-to-medium text where a strong typographic voice is needed, such as posters, packaging, labels, and storefront or wayfinding signage. It can also work for branding systems that want a dependable, industrial slab feel, especially when set with generous spacing and clear hierarchy.
The overall tone is robust and no-nonsense, with an assertive presence that feels practical and workmanlike. Its chunky slabs and crisp terminals suggest a classic print or signage sensibility, leaning slightly retro while staying utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a dependable slab serif with maximum impact and clarity, balancing strong serifs and structured forms with enough contrast and shaping to keep text from feeling overly rigid. It aims to deliver bold emphasis in both display settings and sturdy editorial or promotional typography.
Uppercase forms are particularly commanding, with large interior spaces in letters like O, D, and P helping readability at display sizes. The lowercase keeps a compact, solid silhouette, and numerals share the same bold, slabbed construction for consistent color in mixed content.
