A heavy slab serif with broad proportions, blunt terminals, and minimal stroke modulation. Serifs are substantial and mostly squared off, with slight bracketing that softens joins without losing a machined, blocklike silhouette. Counters are relatively tight and apertures are modest, giving text a dense, poster-ready color. The lowercase shows sturdy, high-shouldered forms and a robust, two-storey structure where applicable, maintaining an even, emphatic rhythm across words and lines.
Best suited for display roles such as headlines, posters, product packaging, and branding where strong verticals and prominent slabs can carry the composition. It also works well for signage and short editorial callouts, and for logo wordmarks that benefit from a sturdy, anchored feel.
The overall tone is confident and workmanlike, mixing a vintage print sensibility with an industrial, no-nonsense presence. It reads as authoritative and slightly nostalgic—evoking headlines, labels, and signage where impact and clarity are prioritized over delicacy.
This design appears intended to deliver high-impact legibility with a grounded, print-forward character—combining wide, blocky letterforms and assertive slabs to create a dependable, attention-holding texture for display typography.
At larger sizes the slab shapes and dense interior spaces become a defining texture, while at smaller sizes the strong horizontals and compact counters can make paragraphs feel weighty. Numerals match the same solid construction and headline emphasis, supporting a consistent, forceful typographic voice.
