A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions and compact, blocky slabs. Strokes show noticeable contrast and frequent flared or beak-like terminals, giving many joins a slightly calligraphic bite despite the overall geometric build. Counters are generally open and round, with a mix of sharp corners and softened curves; several letters incorporate small notch-like details that read like ink traps or cut-ins. Overall spacing feels sturdy and deliberate, producing a dense, headline-oriented texture.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, posters, labels, and brand marks where its strong slabs and distinctive terminals can be appreciated. It can also work for short blurbs or pull quotes when a bold, characterful texture is desired, especially in retro or industrial-themed layouts.
The tone is confident and punchy, with a vintage-industrial flavor reminiscent of signage, packaging, and display typography. Its chunky slabs and energetic terminals add personality and a slightly eccentric edge, balancing solidity with movement.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a rugged slab-serif foundation, while adding individuality through beaked terminals and subtle cut-in details. The result aims for memorable, high-visibility typography that feels both sturdy and expressive.
The font’s distinctive terminal shapes and occasional interior notches create strong silhouettes that hold up well at larger sizes. The numerals are robust and high-contrast in presence, matching the heavyweight color of the caps, while the lowercase keeps the same slabbed, sculpted logic for consistent rhythm in text lines.
