A heavy slab-serif design with square, unbracketed serifs and largely flat stroke endings that give the letters a carved, block-like silhouette. Curves are broad and smooth (notably in C, G, O, and S), while joins and terminals stay crisp and rectilinear, creating a strong vertical rhythm. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and the lowercase shows sturdy, compact forms with short-to-moderate ascenders and descenders. The numerals are wide and stable, matching the overall chunky, poster-friendly color on the page.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, and short blocks of display text where weight and presence are assets. It also works well for branding marks, packaging, and signage that benefit from a sturdy slab-serif voice and strong legibility at larger sizes.
The font reads as confident and workmanlike, with a no-nonsense tone that feels at home in classic signage and bold editorial statements. Its squared slabs and dense color convey toughness and reliability, while the rounded bowls keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a robust slab-serif structure, balancing squared terminals and sturdy stems with rounded bowls for readability. Its consistent, blocky construction suggests a focus on practical, attention-grabbing typography for display and signage contexts.
The uppercase has a monumental, billboard-like presence, while the lowercase maintains clear word shapes that hold up in larger blocks of text. The overall texture is even and dark, producing strong emphasis and clear hierarchy when used for headings.
