A heavy slab serif with wide, rectangular serifs and mostly flat stroke terminals. Strokes are low-contrast and strongly vertical, producing a compact, blocky rhythm with clear, squared counters and firm joins. The lowercase shows sturdy, mechanical shapes with a single-storey “a” and “g”, a compact “e”, and pronounced slab feet on stems; overall spacing reads tight-to-moderate, optimized for punchy setting rather than delicacy.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short-form messaging where a sturdy slab voice is needed. It can work well for branding in food, craft, or industrial contexts, as well as signage and labels that benefit from strong silhouettes and clear numerals.
The tone is forceful and workmanlike, with an industrial, collegiate edge. Its strong slabs and compact forms project confidence and practicality, leaning toward classic print and signage vernaculars rather than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact and clarity through strong slabs, minimal contrast, and compact proportions. Its consistent, squared construction suggests a goal of reliable readability and a confident, no-nonsense presence in display typography.
At display sizes the serifs create a strong baseline and cap-line emphasis, giving words a boxed-in, poster-like presence. Numerals follow the same robust logic, reading clearly and consistently alongside capitals.
