A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions, squared-off terminals, and pronounced, largely unbracketed slabs that create a firm baseline and strong vertical emphasis. Strokes are thick and relatively even, with subtle modulation and generous counters that keep forms readable at display sizes. The lowercase is robust and compact, with a single-storey “g” and a sturdy, slightly squared rhythm across round letters; figures are weighty and consistent, with simple, high-impact silhouettes.
Best suited to headlines, titles, and short bursts of text where a strong, high-contrast presence is desired. It can work well in branding, labels, and signage—especially in contexts that benefit from a sturdy, utilitarian slab-serif voice.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, projecting durability and straightforwardness. Its blocky serifs and dense color give it a vintage, poster-ready authority that feels practical rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, dependable slab-serif look with clear, square-ended construction and high impact at larger sizes, balancing blunt industrial structure with readable interior space.
Spacing appears intentionally open for such a heavy style, helping prevent the black mass from clogging in longer lines. The design maintains a consistent rectangular logic in joins and terminals, while rounded letters retain enough curvature to avoid looking purely geometric.
