A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and the serifs are square and flat, creating crisp right-angled joins and a firmly grounded baseline. The lowercase is robust and slightly compact, with short-to-moderate ascenders and descenders, while the numerals and capitals read as strong, even color. Overall spacing feels generous enough for clarity, but the dense letterforms keep texture bold and emphatic.
This font performs best in short, high-impact settings such as headlines, poster typography, brand marks, labels, and large-format signage where its dense weight and square serifs stay legible and commanding. It can also work for pull quotes and section headers when a bold, authoritative typographic voice is desired.
The tone is forceful and no-nonsense, mixing vintage poster energy with a utilitarian, industrial directness. Its weight and squared detailing give it an assertive, dependable voice that feels at home in bold statements and attention-grabbing headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a stable, geometric slab-serif structure—prioritizing solid silhouettes, strong baseline anchoring, and high visual impact in display sizes.
Round letters like C, O, and G are strongly squared-off in their shaping, balancing curvature with flattened terminals for a sturdy rhythm. The design maintains a consistent, uniform texture across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, favoring impact over delicacy.
