This typeface is a heavy, square-shouldered slab serif with flat, rectangular terminals and minimal stroke modulation. Serifs read as solid blocks with largely unbracketed joins, producing a sturdy, poster-like silhouette. Curves are rounded but contained within a fairly geometric framework, with wide bowls and tight apertures that keep counters compact at smaller sizes. Spacing and rhythm feel even and deliberate, and the numerals match the letters’ robust, high-ink presence.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium text where impact and clarity are priorities, such as posters, branding, packaging, and signage. The strong slabs and compact counters help it hold up in bold editorial settings and display applications where a firm, no-nonsense voice is desired.
The overall tone is forceful and workmanlike, suggesting industrial signage and practical print. Its blocky slabs and compact counters convey confidence and a slightly retro, press-oriented character rather than delicacy or refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver a solid, dependable slab-serif voice with squared terminals and a compact internal structure, prioritizing visual strength and readability in display-driven typography.
In the sample text, the weight and square terminals create strong word shapes and clear emphasis, with especially assertive caps and sturdy figures. The design maintains a consistent, rectangular stress across rounds and straights, giving lines of text a uniform, grounded texture.
