A heavy slab serif with broad, squared-off serifs and minimal stroke contrast, producing a dense, even texture. The letterforms lean on straightforward geometry—rounds are full and slightly squarish in feel—while joins and corners stay firm and blunt. Serifs read as strong rectangular platforms, with small bracket-like transitions in places that soften the attachment without losing the blocky silhouette. Counters are relatively compact, and the overall rhythm is sturdy and consistent in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display sizes where its thick slabs and compact counters can project impact—headlines, posters, labels, and bold editorial titling. It can also work for short passages or pull quotes when a strong, traditional slab-serif voice is desired, especially in contexts that benefit from a rugged, print-forward texture.
The tone is solid and no-nonsense, evoking classic print and signage traditions where durability and clarity matter. Its weight and squared terminals give it a confident, authoritative voice with a touch of old-fashioned practicality rather than elegance.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong slab-serif presence with square-ended detailing and consistent weight, prioritizing visual punch and a grounded, industrial-leaning readability. Its construction suggests a focus on dependable legibility and a classic, poster-ready character rather than delicate refinement.
In the sample text, the font maintains a strong horizontal presence with prominent slab “feet,” giving lines a grounded baseline and a punchy word shape. The numerals follow the same sturdy construction, matching the letterforms for cohesive use in headings and short blocks of copy.
