A heavy slab serif with chunky, block-like forms and confident, squared-off terminals. The serifs read as thick and strongly bracketed, giving the letters a sturdy, poster-like footprint. Curves are broadly drawn (notably in C, G, O, S) with softened joins, while counters stay relatively open for the weight. Spacing and proportions lean generous, and the overall rhythm is steady and emphatic, with sturdy numerals and simplified, impact-forward details.
Best suited to display settings where strong presence is needed: headlines, posters, and attention-grabbing subheads. It also fits signage and packaging where a sturdy, heritage-leaning voice is desired, and can work well for bold brand marks or sports-style wordmarks when set with ample spacing.
The tone feels bold and no-nonsense, with a warm, vintage pragmatism. It suggests classic signage and print-era display typography—confident, approachable, and slightly rugged rather than refined.
Designed to deliver maximum impact with a solid slab-serif structure, prioritizing visibility and a confident, traditional display feel. The broad forms and robust serifs aim for dependable readability at large sizes while projecting a classic, industrial character.
The lowercase shows a robust, compact texture with strong vertical emphasis and minimal delicacy, making words look dense and energetic at larger sizes. The numerals match the same thick, slabbed construction, maintaining a consistent, workmanlike color across mixed text.
