A very heavy, upright serif with pronounced flared stroke endings that broaden into wedge-like terminals. The letterforms are compact and blocky with softly rounded corners and minimal contrast, creating a dense, even color on the page. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be restrained, while curves (notably in C, G, O, and S) are squared-off into rounded rectangles. Lowercase forms are sturdy and simplified, with short, strong serifs and a generally uniform rhythm that favors impact over delicacy.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, posters, labels, and branding where a strong, compact presence is desirable. It can also work for short subheads or punchy callouts, especially in contexts that benefit from a sturdy, retro-industrial feel.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a retro, poster-ready presence. Its chunky forms and flared finishing give it a familiar headline voice—confident, slightly nostalgic, and built for attention in bold messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with simplified, heavy forms while retaining a serif identity through flared terminals rather than delicate bracketed detail. It prioritizes bold legibility and a consistent, blocky rhythm for attention-grabbing display use.
The numerals follow the same blocky, softened-rectilinear construction, maintaining strong consistency with the caps. Spacing appears geared toward display settings, where the dense shapes read as a solid typographic mass.
