A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions, blunt square-ended serifs, and largely monolinear strokes. The letterforms lean on simple geometry and strong horizontals, with compact joins and minimal bracketing that keep edges crisp. Counters are open and the overall rhythm is steady, producing a dark, confident texture in paragraphs; rounded letters (like O/C) remain full and even, while verticals and slabs read as firm, rectangular forms.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and short blocks of copy where a strong, stable serif presence is desired. It can also work well for labels, packaging, and signage applications that benefit from high-impact letterforms and a compact, sturdy texture.
The tone is pragmatic and bold without feeling flashy—more utilitarian and industrial than refined. Its strong slabs and dense color give it an editorial, poster-ready voice that can feel retro in the tradition of typewriter-inspired and wood-type-adjacent slabs.
The design appears intended to deliver a no-nonsense slab-serif voice with strong, square serifs and an even stroke system, prioritizing clarity and impact over delicate detailing. Its broad stance and solid construction suggest use in display-led typography that still holds together in text.
At text sizes the thick serifs and heavy horizontals create pronounced word shapes and a clear baseline. Numerals appear sturdy and straightforward, matching the overall blocky construction and reinforcing the font’s signage-friendly presence.
