A very heavy slab serif with broad proportions, sturdy stems, and squared terminals. Serifs are pronounced and mostly rectangular, with subtle bracketing that helps the joins feel reinforced rather than sharp. Counters are relatively tight and the overall color is dense, while the verticals dominate slightly over the horizontals, creating a strong poster-like rhythm. The lowercase sits high with a tall x-height and short extenders, keeping words compact; details like the two-storey “a” and “g” read clearly at display sizes.
Best used for display typography such as headlines, posters, signage, and packaging where impact and legibility at larger sizes are priorities. It also suits editorial callouts, mastheads, and short promotional lines where a strong, traditional slab voice is desired.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with an industrial, workwear character that also nods to vintage headline and editorial slab traditions. It feels dependable and emphatic, suited to messages that need weight and authority more than delicacy.
This design appears intended to deliver maximum visual impact with a classic slab-serif structure—combining hefty strokes, prominent serifs, and compact lowercase proportions to keep text forceful and readable in attention-grabbing settings.
In the text sample, the font maintains an even, dark texture with distinct word shapes despite the heavy weight, aided by open joins and sturdy interior spaces. The numerals follow the same squared, robust logic and match the caps in presence, making mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
