A heavy slab-serif with compact proportions and firmly bracketed, rectangular serifs. Strokes are weighty with subtly rounded outer corners and occasional notched/ink-trap-like joins, giving counters a slightly carved, mechanical feel. Uppercase forms are squared and robust with generous slabs, while lowercase keeps a sturdy, workmanlike rhythm; widths vary per letter but spacing remains even and deliberate. Numerals are chunky and high-impact, matching the squared geometry and strong baseline presence.
Best suited to headlines, short paragraphs, and display settings where a strong typographic voice is needed—posters, packaging, labels, and signage. It can also work for branding and editorial pull quotes when a rugged, industrial slab-serif texture is desired.
The overall tone is sturdy and no-nonsense, with a vintage-industrial flavor that reads as dependable and tough. It suggests printed ephemera, labeling, and functional signage where clarity and force matter more than delicacy.
This font appears designed to deliver maximum impact and legibility with a durable slab-serif structure, balancing blocky forms with small refinements (rounding and cut-ins) to keep dense text from filling in.
The design’s distinctive character comes from its combination of blunt slabs, softly rounded corners, and small cut-ins at joins that prevent dark clumping at heavier weights. The texture in lines of text is dense and emphatic, producing strong word shapes and a confident, poster-ready color.
