A sturdy slab-serif with squared terminals and a largely monoline stroke, built from broad verticals and compact bowls. Serifs are heavy and flat, giving the letters a firm, poster-like silhouette, while interior counters stay open enough for clarity. Curves are restrained and tend to resolve into subtly squared shoulders, producing a consistent, engineered rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and signage where a strong, stable presence is needed. It also fits branding and packaging that want an industrial or heritage print feel, and can work for short-to-medium passages when a dense, authoritative texture is acceptable.
The overall tone is practical and no-nonsense, with an industrial confidence that feels at home in workmanlike or vintage-inspired settings. Its chunky serifs and compact forms suggest classic American printing and labeling, projecting durability and straightforward emphasis.
Likely designed to deliver high-impact, legible typography with a rugged slab-serif character and clean, squared finishing. The design prioritizes visual firmness and consistency, aiming for a dependable voice that holds up in bold, high-contrast applications.
The numerals and capitals read especially strongly at display sizes, where the slab details and squared joins are most apparent. Lowercase maintains the same robust construction, keeping a uniform texture in paragraphs while retaining a distinctly blocky voice.
