A heavy, block-forward slab serif with broad proportions and a dense, even color on the page. Strokes are largely uniform, with pronounced rectangular slabs and subtly bracketed joins that keep corners from feeling brittle. The letterforms favor squared geometry and wide counters, creating strong horizontal emphasis and stable, grounded silhouettes. Lowercase shapes are large relative to capitals, with compact apertures and robust terminals that hold up well at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines and short-form text where impact is the priority—posters, signage, packaging, and bold editorial openers. The large lowercase and strong serifs also make it effective for branding marks and sports-style wordmarks that need a firm, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is tough and self-assured, see-through in its structure but intentionally weighty in presence. It reads as pragmatic and workmanlike with a classic, slightly nostalgic flavor, like signage and headlines designed to be seen quickly and remembered.
Designed to deliver maximum visual punch with a solid slab-serif skeleton, prioritizing clarity at a distance and a strong typographic texture. The wide, sturdy forms suggest an intention toward headline performance and durable, no-nonsense communication.
Spacing appears generous enough to prevent the heavy strokes from clogging, while the slabs create a clear baseline and cap-line rhythm. Numerals and capitals maintain the same chunky construction, supporting emphatic, attention-grabbing settings.
