A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions and compact internal spaces. The letterforms use chunky, squared terminals and prominent slab feet that read as integrated blocks rather than delicate serifs, giving the design a sturdy, stamped look. Curves are full and simplified, counters are rounded but tight, and joins stay blunt, creating a consistent, muscular rhythm. Uppercase forms feel especially wide and stable, while the lowercase maintains a straightforward structure with minimal ornament and strong, even color across lines of text.
Well-suited to headlines, posters, and short editorial callouts where high impact and strong texture are desirable. It also fits branding, packaging, and signage applications that benefit from a tough, vintage-leaning slab-serif voice and robust numeral styling.
The font projects confidence and impact, with an unmistakably bold, no-nonsense presence. Its block-built serifs and dense texture evoke vintage headlines, workwear branding, and utilitarian print, while still feeling clean enough for contemporary display use.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a stable, slab-serif structure and broad, simplified shapes. Its emphasis on blocky terminals and uniform weight suggests a focus on clarity and punch in display typography rather than delicate reading sizes.
In the sample text, the heavy weight and tight counters make it most comfortable at medium-to-large sizes where word shapes can breathe. Numerals match the same chunky, slabbed construction, supporting strong figure styling in attention-grabbing settings.
