A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions, firm vertical stress, and strongly squared, block-like serifs that read as flat-ended and emphatic. Strokes are largely monolinear, with crisp joins and a slightly condensed interior space in letters like a, e, and s, giving the texture a dense, poster-ready rhythm. Uppercase forms feel robust and architectural, while the lowercase keeps a straightforward, workmanlike structure with single-storey a and g and short, sturdy ascenders. Numerals match the weight and presence, with clear, solid shapes designed for impact rather than delicacy.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and display copy where its solid slabs and dense texture can carry the page. It can also work for brand marks and signage that need a sturdy, traditional presence, while longer paragraphs may benefit from generous size and spacing to keep counters open.
The overall tone is tough and dependable, with a classic, utilitarian voice that suggests traditional printing, signage, and pragmatic craftsmanship. Its blunt serifs and dense color create a confident, no-nonsense feel that can lean vintage or industrial depending on context.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a practical slab-serif voice—prioritizing clarity, durability, and strong silhouette over refinement. Its broad stance and squared terminals suggest a focus on display utility for print-like, editorial, and signage-driven applications.
Counters are relatively tight at text sizes, creating a strong overall color and a slightly compressed internal rhythm. Horizontal strokes and terminals stay blunt and squared, helping maintain a consistent, mechanical steadiness across both uppercase and lowercase.
