A heavy slab-serif with broad proportions, dense color, and squared, bracketed terminals that read as carved blocks rather than delicate details. Strokes stay mostly uniform with only modest modulation, and the serifs are thick and rectangular, giving the letters a planted, architectural stance. Counters and apertures are relatively compact, while joins and inner corners feel slightly softened, helping the large weight stay readable. The lowercase maintains a straightforward, workmanlike build with sturdy stems and simple, strongly serifed forms, producing an even, emphatic rhythm in text.
Best suited to headlines, posters, signage, and bold brand marks where its chunky slabs and wide stance can deliver impact. It also fits packaging and editorial display settings that want a classic, sturdy voice, and can work for short passages when set with generous leading and careful tracking.
The overall tone is bold and no-nonsense, combining a vintage display flavor with an industrial, poster-ready solidity. It suggests reliability and physicality—like inked headlines, stamped labels, or classic storefront lettering—without feeling fragile or refined.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence with a classic slab-serif structure: strong stems, thick rectangular serifs, and compact internal space that holds together in big, high-contrast layouts. It prioritizes punch and legibility in display contexts, aiming for a familiar, retro-leaning authority.
At large sizes the square slab details and tight counters create a strong texture that can quickly dominate a page, so spacing and line length will strongly influence how open or compact it feels. The numerals and capitals carry the same blocky, headline-forward presence, supporting consistent use across titles and short statements.
