A heavy slab-serif with broad, squared terminals and sturdy bracketed joins that give the forms a carved, print-like solidity. Strokes are thick and authoritative with a noticeable—but not delicate—contrast between main stems and connecting strokes. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend toward closed or guarded shapes, emphasizing weight and density. The lowercase shows a single-storey g with a prominent ear, a compact, chunky a, and short, powerful serifs that keep lines visually anchored; numerals are bold and slightly oldstyle-leaning in feel, with strong slab feet and compact proportions.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and prominent branding where maximum impact and a strong typographic voice are needed. It also works well for signage and packaging that benefits from a rugged, heritage-influenced slab-serif look, while longer passages may require generous size and spacing to maintain clarity.
The tone is bold and assertive, evoking classic poster and newspaper headline typography with a workwear, no-nonsense character. It reads as dependable and traditional, with a touch of Western/heritage flavor due to its chunky slabs and punchy rhythm.
Designed to deliver a bold, authoritative slab-serif presence that holds up in attention-grabbing settings. The emphasis appears to be on sturdy structure, classic print sensibility, and high legibility at display scale through simplified, compact forms and prominent slabs.
At display sizes the tight counters and heavy joins create a dark color and strong texture, making it especially effective for short bursts of text. The overall rhythm is steady and vertical, with rounded letters (like O and C) kept firm by flattened slab terminals and restrained curves.
