A very heavy slab serif with broad, block-like proportions and a compact, forceful rhythm. Strokes are robust and largely uniform, with squared-off slab serifs that read as solid platforms, softened by slight bracketing in places rather than razor-sharp joins. Counters are relatively tight (notably in B, R, a, e), and curves are full and rounded, creating a dense, poster-ready texture. Numerals follow the same weighty construction, with wide, stable shapes and strong horizontal emphasis.
Best suited to display settings where strong typographic color is an advantage: headlines, posters, logotypes, labels, and packaging. It can also work for short pull quotes or section headers where a sturdy, retro-industrial voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and dependable, with a vintage, workmanlike confidence. Its chunky slabs and dense color suggest classic signage and editorial display traditions, projecting authority without feeling delicate or formal.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a stable slab-serif footprint—prioritizing bold readability, strong horizontals, and a compact, authoritative texture that holds up in attention-grabbing applications.
Uppercase forms feel particularly monumental, while lowercase retains clear, readable silhouettes; the single-storey a and g reinforce a straightforward, approachable flavor. The heavy serifs and tight internal spaces mean it gains presence quickly and can feel dark in extended settings, especially at smaller sizes.
