A sturdy slab serif with generous, blocky terminals and a low-contrast stroke structure. Serifs read as square and substantial, often slightly bracketed, giving joins a firm, machined feel rather than a delicate transition. Curves are full and rounded, while many stroke endings show subtle flare and small notches that evoke an ink-trap or letterpress-friendly cut. Proportions are straightforward with compact counters and a steady rhythm that stays consistent from capitals to numerals.
Well-suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium text where a solid slab serif voice is desired. It also fits branding and packaging that benefits from an industrial or heritage-leaning tone, and works effectively in posters or signage thanks to its strong terminals and clear shapes.
The tone is pragmatic and workmanlike, with a faint vintage printing character. Its bold serif presence adds authority without becoming decorative, suggesting reliability, signage practicality, and editorial seriousness.
The design appears intended as a plainspoken slab serif for everyday use—built to feel sturdy and readable, with just enough vintage print flavor to add character while remaining broadly functional.
Capitals present a strong, poster-ready silhouette, while the lowercase keeps a readable, utilitarian texture. Numerals follow the same robust, squared-off logic, maintaining a cohesive, no-nonsense voice in mixed text and headings.
