A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions, crisp horizontals, and strongly squared terminals. Strokes are low-contrast and largely monolinear, with robust, block-like serifs that read as slightly bracketed rather than razor-sharp. Counters are generous for the weight, and curves (C, G, O, S) are rounded but kept tight, producing a firm, engineered rhythm. The lowercase is sturdy and compact, with a single-storey a and g, short ascenders/descenders relative to the cap height, and a generally even, sign-like texture in text.
This font is well suited to headlines and display settings where a firm, authoritative voice is needed, such as posters, branding marks, and packaging. Its sturdy slabs and broad forms also work well for signage and short editorial callouts, especially at medium to large sizes where the heavy details can breathe.
The overall tone is confident and hardworking, mixing an industrial straightforwardness with a classic, headline-ready authority. It evokes vintage print and collegiate signage without feeling overly decorative, prioritizing impact and stability over delicacy.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, dependable slab-serif voice with a clean, squared-off finish and strong typographic color. It aims for high impact and clarity in display typography while maintaining a traditional serif structure suitable for prominent, attention-grabbing text.
The numerals are chunky and highly legible, matching the square-shouldered slab structure of the letters. In the sample text, spacing reads steady and dense, creating a strong horizontal banding that favors emphasis and presence.
