A heavy, block-forward slab serif with compact proportions and sturdy, squared-off forms. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, while the serifs read as broad slabs with a slightly softened, bracketed feel that rounds transitions and corners. Counters are relatively tight and enclosed, giving letters a dense, poster-ready color, and the overall rhythm is steady with clearly defined verticals and firm terminals.
Best suited to display settings where impact and legibility at size matter most—posters, headlines, labels, and packaging. It also works well for bold branding and signage that benefits from a sturdy, approachable slab-serif voice.
The tone is bold and assertive with a warm, workmanlike character. Its chunky slabs and compact shapes evoke a retro, sign-painting and print-display sensibility—confident and practical rather than delicate or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum visual punch with a straightforward, durable slab-serif structure. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a compact, ink-heavy texture to create confident display typography with a subtly retro, industrial flavor.
The figures match the overall mass and solidity, with rounded interior spaces and strong, stable silhouettes that hold together well at large sizes. The lowercase maintains the same weight and presence as the uppercase, supporting emphatic typography with a consistent, no-nonsense texture.
