A dense, compact slab-serif with chunky, square-shouldered forms and heavy bracketed slabs that read as strongly stamped. Strokes are broadly even, with minimal modulation and crisp corners softened by small curves at joins, producing a sturdy, mechanical rhythm. Counters are relatively tight and the overall silhouette is slightly condensed, helping words form dark, cohesive blocks. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike construction, while punctuation and numerals match the same squared, heavyweight logic for consistent texture in text and display settings.
Best suited for display typography where strong presence is needed—headlines, posters, storefront or wayfinding-style signage, and branding marks. It can also work for short bursts of text (taglines, pull quotes, labels) where a compact, sturdy texture is desirable.
The tone feels rugged and heritage-leaning, with a poster and letterpress sensibility that suggests utility, signage, and Americana. Its compact heft projects confidence and practicality, giving headlines a no-nonsense, hardwearing voice.
Designed to deliver high-impact readability with a compact footprint, combining heavy slabs and squared terminals to evoke traditional print and utilitarian signage. The consistent, blocky construction prioritizes bold presence and a firm, dependable visual voice.
The sample text shows strong word color and tight internal spacing, making it particularly assertive at larger sizes. The serifs and terminals stay consistently squared and substantial, which reinforces an engraved/printed-on-wood feel while keeping letter shapes highly recognizable.
