A heavy, right-leaning slab-serif with compact proportions and a firm, even stroke rhythm. Serifs are thick and squared-off with subtle bracketing, producing strong footings and crisp edges across caps and lowercase. Counters are relatively tight and the overall color is dense, while joins and corners show slight shaping that prevents clogging at weighty intersections. Numerals follow the same robust, workmanlike construction, reading clearly at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and branding where a strong, energetic voice is needed. It can also work well for packaging and signage that benefits from sturdy letterforms and an assertive slant. For longer passages, it will be most effective in pull quotes, subheads, or other high-contrast typographic moments.
The face conveys a confident, no-nonsense tone with a utilitarian edge. Its slanted stance and blocky serifs add motion and punch, suggesting headlines, signage, and competitive or energetic branding. Overall it feels classic and sturdy rather than delicate or ornamental.
Designed to deliver an emphatic italic slab-serif presence with high impact and stable construction. The consistent slabs and dense rhythm prioritize authority and visibility, while the controlled shaping at joins supports clarity in bold display settings.
The italic angle is consistent and the slab treatment stays uniform across the set, giving text a strong horizontal baseline presence. Round forms (like O/C/G) remain fairly open for the weight, while straight-sided letters emphasize a squared, engineered feel. In running text it creates a dark, emphatic texture that favors shorter lines and prominent hierarchy.
