A heavy slab-serif with broad, blocky proportions and compact internal counters. Strokes show noticeable contrast for a display face, with stout verticals and thick horizontal slabs that read as strongly bracketed in places. Terminals and joins often feature small notches and interior cut-ins that create an ink-trap-like texture, adding crispness at the edges and a slightly engineered rhythm across words. Curves are robust and rounded, while straight-sided letters keep a firm, structured silhouette; numerals match the same dense, sturdy construction.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of copy where weight and presence are desirable—such as posters, signage, and bold editorial display. It can also work well on packaging and branding marks that benefit from a sturdy, heritage-leaning slab-serif voice.
The overall tone is assertive and no-nonsense, with a vintage, workwear/poster energy. Its chunky serifs and sculpted cut-ins give it a crafted, slightly mechanical character that feels both classic and attention-grabbing.
The design appears aimed at delivering maximum impact with a traditional slab-serif base, enhanced by carved-in details that sharpen shapes and add character. It prioritizes strong silhouettes and a consistent, rugged texture for display-driven typography.
In continuous text the dense counters and strong slab presence create a dark, even color and high impact, with distinctive detailing at corners and joins providing extra texture. The wide set and heavy weight make spacing and line breaks visually prominent, emphasizing headlines over long-form readability.
