A heavy, rectilinear slab serif with square-cut terminals and a compact, sturdy build. Strokes are consistently thick with minimal modulation, and the serifs read as broad, flat slabs that emphasize horizontals and corners. Uppercase forms feel wide-set and architectural, while the lowercase maintains a clear, workmanlike texture with a solid x-height and strong vertical stress. Numerals are equally weighty and straightforward, designed to hold their shape in dense settings.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and display typography where strong structure and clear letterforms are needed. It also fits branding, packaging, and signage that benefit from an assertive slab-serif voice and a compact, high-impact texture.
The overall tone is firm and utilitarian, with an industrial, poster-ready confidence. Its blocky slabs and blunt endings give it a retro sign-painting and newsroom feel—direct, emphatic, and built for impact rather than delicacy.
The design appears aimed at delivering a robust slab-serif look optimized for visibility and authority. Its square terminals, heavy serifs, and even stroke weight suggest a focus on practical legibility and a classic industrial/editorial character in display sizes.
The face produces a dark, even color in paragraphs, with pronounced serifs that help letters lock into a rhythmic, rectangular pattern. Counters stay relatively open for the weight, supporting short bursts of text, while the overall presence remains bold and attention-forward.
