A sturdy slab-serif with broad proportions and strongly squared-off, unbracketed serifs. Strokes are largely even in weight, with crisp right-angled joins and flat terminals that give the letters a carved, block-built feel. Counters are open and generously sized, and the rhythm is steady and deliberate, with wide caps and a solid baseline presence. Numerals and punctuation follow the same squared, no-nonsense construction, maintaining a consistent, mechanical texture in text.
Best suited to display settings where its broad proportions and slab structure can project authority—headlines, posters, and identity work. It also fits signage and packaging that benefit from a tough, classic, easy-to-spot word shape, while short-to-medium passages can work when a strong typographic color is desired.
The overall tone feels confident and institutional, with a hint of collegiate or workwear signage character. Its firm slabs and wide stance communicate durability and practicality more than delicacy, producing an assertive, straightforward voice that reads as traditional but not ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, dependable slab-serif texture with wide letterforms and emphatic, square serifs. It prioritizes sturdy legibility and a recognizable, traditional-industrial presence, aiming for impact and clarity rather than refined calligraphic nuance.
In running text, the wide set and heavy serifs create strong horizontal emphasis, which can make lines feel bold and stable. The design favors clear silhouettes and a consistent, stamp-like finish, especially noticeable in the squared terminals and the robust, rectangular feet and caps across the alphabet.
