A heavy slab serif with square, flat-ended serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The letterforms are compact and block-forward, with tight apertures and relatively small interior counters that create a dense texture. Curves are restrained and tend toward squared-off transitions, while verticals remain dominant and steady. The lowercase shows a short-looking x-height relative to the ascenders, and the overall rhythm reads as firm and deliberate rather than airy.
Works best for display applications where a strong, anchored texture is desirable—headlines, posters, labels, and packaging. It can also serve for short editorial callouts or signage where the slab structure helps maintain presence at a distance.
The font conveys a sturdy, no-nonsense tone that feels industrial and slightly retro. Its dense color and squared finishing give it an assertive, workmanlike presence suited to confident statements and practical messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and stability through square-ended slabs, dense proportions, and a compact internal structure, prioritizing a bold, practical voice over delicacy or openness.
In text settings the heavy serifs and compact counters create a strong, even “stamp-like” color that can feel intense at smaller sizes. The numerals share the same squared, weighty construction, reinforcing a consistent, utilitarian voice across alphanumerics.
