A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad proportions and stout, square-ended serifs. Strokes are thick and even, with minimal modulation and large counters that keep the forms open despite the weight. Curves are generously rounded (notably in C, G, O, and e), while joins and terminals stay crisp and planar, creating a clear geometric rhythm. Lowercase has a straightforward, workmanlike build with single-story a and g, robust verticals, and a wide footprint that reads strongly in display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, posters, and short-form copy where a strong typographic voice is needed. Its heavy slabs and open counters make it effective for packaging, branding marks, and signage that must hold up at distance or on high-contrast backgrounds.
The overall tone is bold and pragmatic with a retro, poster-like presence. It feels sturdy and dependable, projecting an industrial confidence while remaining approachable due to its rounded interior shapes and uncluttered detailing.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a sturdy slab-serif structure and simplified, squared terminals. It prioritizes bold readability and a confident, vintage-industrial flavor over delicate detail, making it a natural choice for display-driven typography.
The letterforms emphasize horizontals and flat terminals, producing a stable baseline and strong headline color. Numerals are equally weighty and compact, matching the font’s assertive texture and making it suitable for attention-grabbing numeric messaging.
