A heavy, slab-serif design with square, flat-ended serifs and largely uniform stroke weight. The letterforms are broad-shouldered and compact, with sturdy vertical stems, wide bowls, and tight interior counters that emphasize density. Terminals and joins feel crisp and orthogonal, giving the shapes a machined, no-nonsense rhythm. Numerals and capitals read particularly strong, with consistent, blunt serifs and clear, weighty silhouettes.
Best suited to headline and display work where strong typographic color is needed—posters, campaign graphics, signage, packaging, and bold brand wordmarks. It can also support short editorial callouts or section headers where a firm, traditional slab voice is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and workmanlike, with a classic, print-forward presence that feels both traditional and tough. Its blocky slabs and compact spacing convey authority and practicality, while the chunky proportions add a subtly retro, poster-like energy.
The font appears designed to deliver maximum impact with a straightforward slab-serif structure—prioritizing sturdy shapes, consistent weight, and squared terminals for dependable readability and a strong, authoritative presence in display settings.
At text sizes the heavy color and tight counters create a dark, even texture, while at larger sizes the squared detailing and slab structure become the main character. The design favors clarity through bold silhouettes rather than delicate detail, and it maintains a consistent, steady rhythm across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
