A heavy, condensed slab serif with square-cut terminals and minimal stroke modulation. The design favors broad, rectangular counters and sturdy, straight-sided stems, with compact curves that keep letters tight and punchy. Serifs read as thick, unbracketed slabs that extend the full weight of the strokes, creating a strong horizontal emphasis and a solid typographic “wall.” The overall rhythm is dense and even, with simplified, geometric joins and a blunt, workmanlike finish.
Best suited to large-size display work where impact matters: headlines, posters, labels, and bold branding. The condensed build helps fit more characters per line while preserving strong presence, making it useful for signage and compact title treatments that need to read loud and clear.
The tone is bold and emphatic, evoking vintage posters and utilitarian signage. Its chunky slabs and tight proportions suggest a rugged, no-nonsense personality with a hint of old-time display flair.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver maximum visual impact through heavy slabs, compact proportions, and simplified detailing. It prioritizes bold texture and a consistent, rugged silhouette over delicate refinement, aiming for attention-grabbing display typography.
Round letters like O/Q stay compact and weighty, while diagonals (K, V, W, X) maintain a consistent thickness that reinforces the sturdy texture. Numerals match the caps in weight and presence, making mixed alphanumeric settings feel unified and forceful.
